"A value-for-money SL in a well-maintained and tidy condition. It stands out on the streets, it does, but does so with class and a certain discretion. The model isn’t so physically large."

"A value-for-money SL in a well-maintained and tidy condition. It stands out on the streets, it does, but does so with class and a certain discretion. The model isn’t so physically large."

Description

It was delivered in April 1991 by a Mercedes dealer in Gmund am Tegernsee in southern Germany to its first owner, a Fritz Sieber from the neighboring town of Tegernsee. The car was imported to Sweden in February 1997 and has since had 3 owners in Sweden – all along the southern west coast – including the current one. He has driven the SL for just under 15000 km over 11 years and has personally serviced it several times during that period with maintenance, inspections, and new parts. The car is delivered with a new inspection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Engine, transmission, and brakes operate smoothly and powerfully with a nice feel. The distributor caps and rotors have been replaced, as they are a known source of issues when they become dirty and worn. Furthermore, the clocks for the shock absorber system have been replaced, and the chassis feels solid and well-tuned.

  • Interior condition:

    The leather interior is nice and fresh, although a little cleaning and lubrication treatment would have done it good. Otherwise, everything on board is neat and undamaged, and the air conditioning blows cold. The owner is interested in sound and music and has therefore upgraded the audio system. High-quality speakers are installed behind the original speaker grilles; externally, two crossover filters are mounted on each side of the driveshaft tunnel. The small rear seat with accompanying lap belts is actually a factory option. Original spare wheel included.

  • Exterior condition:

    Nice and presentable paintwork combined with 18” Carlsson split-type wheels partially painted in the car’s color, fitted with good Pirelli P Zero tires. The soft top is intact and clean, and an original hardtop is included, stored in a custom-made wooden stand. An SL500 with a detachable towbar is not common, but the current owner has a history with older American cars and caravans, and thought it could be nice to be able to tow the caravan even when driving the large SL roadster.

  • General condition:

    En R129 i god kondition, med en gedigen historik och väl omhändertagen. Praktisk extrautrustning för de ovanliga situationer som en tvåsitsig roadster ändå kan ställas inför - en dragkrok och ett godkänt nödbaksäte.

Facts about the model

1989 introducerades äntligen ersättaren till 107-serien. Den nya SL-klassen byggde på W124 E-klass-plattformen, men inkluderade även motorer från W140 S-klassen. R129 hade avancerade funktioner som justerbara stötdämpare och en uppfällbar störtbåge som aktiverades om bilen var nära att välta. Tillsammans med andra säkerhetsfunktioner hävdade Mercedes att R129 var världens säkraste bil, trots att den var en cabriolet. Modellen uppdaterades 1993 och 1996, med bland annat nya motoralternativ.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
