Introduction
Paul Wright
One of just 40 produced, the Mille Miglia edition SL320 is one of the more desirable models to own.
Produced from 1989 to 2001, the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL-Class was a highly advanced grand tourer of its era, built on a shortened version of the W124 saloon platform. It introduced a number of forward-thinking features, including an automatically deploying roll-over bar and, optionally, electronically controlled suspension. Standard equipment was generous, with electric windows, mirrors, seats, and a fully automated convertible roof. To mark the 40th anniversary of Stirling Moss’s legendary 1955 Mille Miglia victory, Mercedes-Benz introduced a limited-edition version of the R129—available as either a 320SL or 500SL. Known as the Mille Miglia edition, it was offered exclusively in 'Brilliant Silver Metallic; and featured polished Evo II six-spoke alloy wheels, a striking black and red leather interior, carbon-fibre trim, and unique chequered-flag-effect lower grille inserts.
This lovely, desirable example comes from ~15 years of ownership and has just over 61,000 miles covered, it has a current MOT valid until 02.07.2025. The car has 4 former keepers, comes with 2 keys, the matching hard-top in "Brilliant Silver Metallic" and all the trim and spec you'd expect, including the 17" Evo 2 alloys.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Spencer the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Ask Owner
Why does the reg no change throughout the history of the car? Has it had a new engine?
The engine is the original engine. It’s had a personal plate on during my ownership hence the registration number changes.
Hello, I saw the car is due for MOT on 02/07/25 and currently has many advisories: will you put the car through an MOT post sale as I live in France and will have to drive her back here? Regards, Mathieu
