The Appeal
Introduced to replace the ever-iconic R107, the R129 was an evolved, modernised car that didn't lose any of its spirit. Mercedes-Benz made a concerted effort to make the new roadster a technological marvel. Indeed, this was amongst one of the safest, most over-engineered roadsters in the world.
This example offers a comprehensive service history, a striking livery and a history of dry storage - leading to a fine, healthy car that's ready and waiting for its next owner. This quintessentially '90s car is proving increasingly popular, and we're sure this one will garner plenty of much-deserved attention.
