Introduction
Tom Valle
One of the most thoroughly engineered convertibles ever made - boxy good looks and a whole lot of power under the hood, introducing the R129 SL 500.
The R129 is a sporty roadster built by Mercedes-Benz from 1989-2001 - its development began in 1984 based on the shortened floorpan of the Mercedes-Benz W124, once production started it came runner-up for the European Car of the Year award in 1989.
The SL 500 is fitted with a bullet proof M119 5.0L V8 engine - packing more power than some Italian sports cars on sale at the same time.
The SL 500 was also one of the safest cars ever built, with its ‘Wunderbar’ (an automatic roll bar) which deploys within milliseconds of the car flipping over. Even to this day, it’s considered an extremely safe sports car to own.
We've found this meticulously owned example in an undoubtedly cool colourway with stunning AMG wheels.
