MERCEDES-BENZ R129 300 SL 24
In 1989, the R107, Mercedes’ iconic convertible from the 1970s, was replaced after a career lasting 18 years by the R129. The new model was also a resounding success, with nearly 200,000 cars built until 2002. Three successive generations were produced, and it was available with six, eight and twelve-cylinder engines. Technically, the roadster was ahead of its time. As well as the significant progress made in terms of its handling, the car was equipped as standard with ABS, a hardtop and an electrically operated soft top, as well as a safety roll-over bar which deployed automatically if the car overturned. It was a very comfortable and safe convertible to drive, offering a level of driving enjoyment worthy of Mercedes’ reputation and ambitions.
The model presented here
The model is a first-generation 300 SL 24 with an in-line six-cylinder engine developing 231bhp. It was delivered in Paris on 4 March 1993 finished in a magnificent metallic brown, perfectly matched to its ‘Brazil’ leather upholstery. This combination of colours is original and unusual for the model. The car is comprehensively equipped, with a five-speed automatic transmission, automatic climate control, electrically adjusted seats and a rear bench seat allowing two adults and two children to be carried in complete safety. This convertible has covered only 7500km (4700 miles) and has had only one owner. It is therefore in remarkable and near-new original condition. Its unique condition, as well as its colour scheme and the options fitted make this an extremely attractive convertible. It would be especially well suited to a true collector seeking excellence and exclusivity. It will be sold serviced and with a 12-month warranty.
