The Mercedes-Benz R129 generation SL is quickly gaining recognition in the market for its elegant Bruno Sacco design and unrivaled build quality. Today it is becoming ever more challenging to find an example that has lived a more cherished life than this Arctic White over Royal Blue example. Having covered a mere 13,205 miles since new, this car is a phenomenally preserved example that provides a near-new car experience. Remarkable indications of this level of preservation are the condition of the decals and paint markings seen in the engine compartment and on the undercarriage. A testament to the inherent quality built into this 300 SL, if one were looking for a stellar R129, one would be hard-pressed to find a better one.
Highlights
With only 13,205 miles since new, this 300 SL has been preserved in pristine condition.
The previous owner was so dedicated to preservation that he framed the window sticker and mileage statement.
Arctic White over a Royal Blue leather interior and accompanied by the original matching hard top.
Thoroughly detailing the car results in a clean undercarriage that retains the factory protective wax layer with bright QC paint markings throughout.
Power comes from the smooth, refined ‘M104’ 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine.
The R129 embodies Mercedes’ marketing slogan of “engineered like no other car in the world.”
