Mercedes Benz 300 SL (R129) auto 1990

From the Golden Age of Mercedes Benz, this is a car you can be really proud of.

This 300 SL is timeless; unmistakable quality, the very essence of great style and class.

With only 21,827 original miles, owned by one family until early 2023, it is in remarkably original shape. Is it the best example currently offered? We cannot imagine finding another quite like it.

Purchased by a Glastonbury based businessman, delivered in March 1990, it was the first example sold by Taunton based MB main dealers, Cross Keys.

Specification includes:

• Astral silver metallic bodywork with matching hardtop
• Dark blue electric hood.
• 16 inch light alloy ‘Disc’ wheels.
• Headlamp wash/wipe system.
• Dark blue full leather interior.
• Heated, electrically adjustable seats with memory function.
• Electrically adjustable steering column.
• Air conditioning.
• Tempomat cruise control.
• ASR (acceleration skid control)
• Mercedes Benz Becker Mexico radio/cassette plus Sound System.

Obviously cherished and used only for special occasions, kept garaged and never driven in the rain.

Complete with its original book pack with service book and handover items from the dealership. Full size spare wheel, warning triangle and tool roll.

Benefiting from a major service, including spark plugs, brake fluid and a transmission oil change, less than 150 miles ago, plus a new battery. Supplied with our own classic car warranty.

The driving experience is relaxed and serene, courtesy of the silky smooth 3.0 litre straight 6 coupled with an effortless, 4G-Tronic automatic ‘box.

Will there ever be a more favourable time to buy? Similar condition, low mileage examples of the previous incarnation SL model, the R107, are commanding up to six figure sums!. With interest in 90’s era cars flourishing, this R129 is an emerging classic. It presents the perfect opportunity to join the elite ranks of SL ownership before the values surely rise.

It will make you feel like a million dollars, yet without spending the earth.
