1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Facelift Cabriolet
1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 W129 R129 Facelift Cabriolet.
Automatic Gearbox mated to the 3.2 litre engine, offering around 240 BHP through the rear wheels.
Brilliant Silver Metallic Paintwork, with Light Grey Nappa Leather interior.
6 previous keepers
Mileage recorded at 140,377.
MOT 29th November 2023
Since pre-covid, this vehicle has had a large amount of expenditure:
New soft top roof and rear screen
Bodywork repairs to isolated arears due to corrosion
Brembo discs and pads all round
Avon tyres all round
Wheels diamond cut - new centre caps
Leather interior restoration, including bolster repair and re-colouration.
Full service.
This work, totalling approx £5-6000, has improved the car to what you see in the pictures today.

The SL came complete with a Full Service History to the previous keeper, but this has yet to be forwarded on to the current keeper. If it arrives we will forward it to the buyer, but please assume no paper service history until that time and judge the car on how you see it today.

The hardtop is to be delivered to us by the buyer and will be available for when the car is due for collection next week. It is in matching Brilliant Silver paintwork.

Being the facelifted car from 1999, it came with a host of extras:

Xenon headlights
Nappa leather interior
Electric front seats & steering column
Climate control
Blaupunkt Headunit and CD boot changer
Electric roof
Electric windows
and much more.

We have been made aware that the electric aerial requires replacement due to a broken mechanism, but that a replacement new electric aerial is in the boot, and just requires fitting.

The car drives like you would expect a quality car from this era to do so. It feels well put together and you feel cossetted with the knowledge that you are in one of the safest cars of that time.
