In production for 13 years, the R129 SL probably did more than any other to create the 'hewn-from-solid' reputation that Mercedes then enjoyed

Finished in Almandine Red with a matching hardtop and an Oatmeal leather interior
Powered by the M119 5-litre, 32-valve V8 generating 322bhp and mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox
Fitted with a new radio but the original will accompany the car with its multi-disc player
Maintained by Mercedes-trained mechanics (Coverdale of Newton Abbott ) since 2002
Supplied with its original hardtop, book pack with handbook and stamped service record
