Description
We do love an R129 here, we think they are the sweet spot in terms of Value in the current market. This is perhaps the nicest example we have ever offered, it is the unicorn we always look for! This is a 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 V6, 1 Owner from new and just 20k Miles on the clock! This car is finished in Metallic Green Black with Saffron Nappa Leather interior, Black Soft Top and the desirable Panoramic Hard Top. This is almost the perfect colour and Spec!
Three things you can be sure of when acquiring a Mercedes-Benz; build quality, innovation and reliability. From the advent of the Pagoda in the 1950s though to the ever desirable R107 series in the 1980s, the Bremen engineers had a tough act to follow. But, with the launch of the R129 in 1989, they had clearly mastered the act of reinventing the wheel! Quality and reliability are a given now, but innovation really took the motoring press by storm. Controlled electronic damping and an automatically expanding roll-over bar as well as fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats. While the SL boasted a more powerful engine, stopping power was conversely aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance. The SL320 is the perfect model, in the middle of the range, and these later post facelift cars has smaller wing mirrors, a restyled front and the SL320 had an all new V6 engine.
This beautiful SL320 V6 was sold to its first and only owner by Charles Sidney Mercedes Benz in Yorkshire, where the car has remained ever since. The car was originally registered in the owners company on 30th June 1999 then transferred to her personal name in 2002. The car has covered an amazingly low, warranted, 20k miles from new with a good history and perfect MOT History from new. The car was specified in the rare and beautiful Metallic Green Black with Saffron Nappa Leather Interior, she also specified electrically adjustable heated memory seats, Panoramic Glass Hard Top, Rear Seats, Xenon Headlamps, Burred Walnut Trim. We have all the original book pack including the service book and associated service invoices. She comes with a fresh MOT with no advisories as you would expect and is in a beautiful condition with only a little wear on the drivers seat bolster which is common. The car has been in storage for the last few years with minimal mileage being covered so would benefit from a service before regular use, she does, however, drive like a new car, as you would expect!
So there you have it, a one owner SL320 V6, in a beautiful colour, in a beautiful condition, with a warranted low mileage from new, and for a surprisingly reasonable price, I think you would agree!
