Electric Steering Column AdjustI bought this R129 SL320 in July 2021 as I needed temporary summer transport. I didn't expect to keep it nearly 4 years, but when the sun shines, there is little to beat it.
At the time, this example stood out for two reasons. Firstly that it was, in my opinion, the superior original pre-facelift two-tone design, and in the classic colour combination of Blue-Black with Mushroom interior. Secondly, that the car came with a complete and detailed history file, including the original bill of sale, and every subsequent receipt.
During my ownership I have used the car routinely in good weather covering 10, 000 miles, during which time it has been looked after by Mercedes and R129 specialist firm Prestige Car Services, Horndean.
Over the last 5 years, across my ownership and that of the previous owner, the car has had the following work completed:
Annual Service and MOT - last completed 18th March 2025
New F/ R Brake Discs + Pads
4 x New Tyres
Wheel Refurbishment
Replacement New OEM Front Wings - A common R129 weak spot.

Overall, it is a well maintained, usable R129 in a fabulous colour combination and comes with two keys, hardtop (inc stand) and impeccable maintenance history.
