The Appeal

Designed by Mercedes-Benz stalwart Bruno Sacco, the R129 SL was yet another example of the German manufacturer at the top of its game. Even now, an R129 is still a car you can drive every day. They're beautifully built, reliable, practical and easy to live with; what more could you ask for?!

With just 50,668 miles on the clock, confirmed by a clean CARFAX report, this 'Polar White' SL320 is eminently worthy of your consideration. It looks to be in very good condition for its age, so it's now up to the new lucky owner to register it in their country of choice and enjoy it.
