1991 R129 Mercedes 500 SL V8 32 Valve 306 Bhp Full Restoration Just Completed 74000 Miles 14 Stamp History Concours Example 100 + HD Images Another sublime R129, emanating from the same home that our 300 SL-24 comes from, beautifully restored with patience and enthusiasm, as mentioned in my other advert, dismiss other examples you may have viewed or had assurances on how complete they are, this is simply as good as it gets. Both cars would win any shows they entered other cars are on the market. This is a concours example, restored this year starting off with a very solid example with no rot, once again being treated to meticulous standards (detailed in full below), leaving nothing out. Seeking a person who shares equally high standards and/or the serious collector looking for the very best pound notes can buy. J421 DYP the 5.0 32 valve 306 bhp engine is the go-to engine of choice for the majority of prospective classic SL buyers. The power is flexible, it drives like a modern car with totally effortless performance in any gear at any time, whether posing or cruising it’s a pleasure. First registered and pre delivery inspected by a Mercedes dealer in Germany and brought to the Uk immediately. Full restoration with barely a few hundred miles covered since.

Original service book, always maintained by recognised specialists, no outstanding matters. Take note of the images of the underside. Summary There never was a car like the R129 in the annals of motoring history, there probably never will be again. The market has woken up to what these elusive examples represent, and this is a unique car fresh to the market. The SL is the best example of substitution in the classic world, meaning that those who are priced out of one generation automatically look at a newer generation that is more affordable. The R129 s depreciation finally bottomed out some time ago. I have probably overstressed the message already, however, this is an outstanding Mercedes. The classic colour schemes can only enhance the long-term residual of this enduring classic that should now rightly be wrapped away being brought out on dry days, a superb investment. Difficult vehicles to value, this is priced for what is the best of cars.
