Description

This was the top model in the SL series in 1993 – with a five-liter V8. In 2002, this car came to Sweden. In addition to a power-operated soft top, it also has an elegant hardtop. Six years ago, it was repainted in its original color because there were marks in the paint caused by an improperly used car cover. The current owner has had the car for three years and has hardly driven it at all. He has had the brake discs replaced and the front brake calipers rebuilt, and in February the car received an oil service. It passed an inspection on June 3, 2025. No owner's manual or service book comes with the car. One key is included.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine runs well, but there is white smoke from the exhaust system. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly as it should. The steering wheel vibrates, which is likely due to flat spots on the tires, as the car has been driven very little. The AC does not cool. One of the headlight wipers will not return to the correct position after being switched off. The headlight wipers, windshield wipers, radio, and power windows were tested during the test drive and worked. The power soft top and the hardtop locking mechanism also worked without issue.

  • Interior condition

    Attractive interior with upholstery in red and black leather. There is damage to the rear seat – see photo. One of the cover panels on the center console does not close. The headliner on the hardtop has begun to sag and is loose at the edges – see photos.

  • Exterior condition

    The paint and body are in good condition, apart from two small spots of rust on the hardtop – see pictures. There are some minor scratches, and the spoiler has sustained a couple of damages – see pictures. The left side mirror has minor damage. A couple of the wheels have curb rash.

  • General condition

    A wonderful open car that also features a strong V8 engine. What primarily needs to be done is going over the engine and finding out what is causing the white smoke.

Facts about the model

For the 1990 model year, Mercedes-Benz launched the SL generation with the internal code R129. Work on developing the model had been underway since the 1970s. A mid-engine design was among the ideas discussed, but in the end the R129 got its engine in the front and drive to the rear, just like its predecessor, the R107. The styling is attributed to Johann Tomforde, who would later design the Smart minicar. The R129 was an open car with a soft top and hardtop. The soft top was lowered electrically, a process that took 30 seconds. It was important that the new SL generation be as safe as possible, and the R129 was therefore equipped with a roll bar hidden behind the cockpit that deployed within 0.3 seconds when the car sensed it was about to roll over. The roll bar could also be kept raised at all times. At launch, the entry-level version was the 300 SL with a six-cylinder engine; above it was the 300 SL-24 with a multi-valve engine. The top model was the 500 SL with a 326-horsepower V8. In 1993, Mercedes changed its naming system; the letters would now come first and the numbers after, which meant the 500 SL became the SL 500. The R129 model generation was produced through 2001.

  • 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.
