EXTERIOR
Finished in timeless Brilliant Silver Metallic this facelift V6 SL presents very nicely indeed. After a machine polish by our in-house detailer the paintwork is bright and glossy all round with no bubbling on any of the arches. There are a few discreetly touched-in marks to note on close inspection but it’s straight along both sides and all the lights are clear and damage-free. The car was spec’d from new with the desirable panoramic hardtop option and the original 5-spoke alloy wheels are also still fitted. Not a concours example but a very tidy facelift R129 in great usable condition.
INTERIOR
The sumptuous SL interior is a wonderful place to be. The seats are trimmed in soft Nappa leather with the upholstery remaining in excellent condition. The glossy walnut centre console trim is also in good order with no cracks to the lacquer. Equipment-wise this SL sports a number of creature comforts including digital climate control AC (blowing ice cold having just been re-gassed), heated and electric front seats, cruise control, an electric steering column, electric folding door mirrors, Xenon headlights, and Bluetooth/ USB connectivity from the upgraded Blaupunkt head unit.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The SL has just returned from a full check over and service at the current mileage of 103k. Requiring little more than an oil change and air con re-gas the car drives really well, with effortless V6 performance and near-seamless gear changes from the 5-speed automatic box. A new battery was fitted in May 2024 and the brake pads were replaced all round less than 2k miles ago.
