Launched in 1989, the R129-Series took the fabled Mercedes SL range to new heights of technical excellence. Traditionally the most sporting model of the MB line-up, the SL was the preserve of the rich and famous when new - no episode of Dallas was complete without at least one cruising by and many F1 drivers used them as day-to-day cars in the early nineties.

From the poetic motion of the electric hood to the roll bar that automatically flipped up if the car sensed an accident, these cars oozed sophistication with adaptive suspension, airbags, traction control, air con, and a superb new five-link rear suspension all as standard.

This 300SL-24 has the 24-valve version of the standard 3-litre straight-six engine, developing a creamy smooth 231bhp (up 40bhp on its 12-valve sibling). First registered by HL Gorner Ltd on 17/ 10/ 1990 it has been enjoyed by six registered keepers from new, none of whom could have used it much as the current mileage is just 27, 231 miles from new, however, the Service Record does boast a total of seven services (4 supplying dealer and 3 marque specialists) and the owner's file contains 20 previous Mot Certificates and 20 old tax discs.

First serviced by the supplying dealer 14/ 11/ 1990 - 681 Miles
Supplying dealer 01/ 07/ 1991 - 6, 599 Miles

This lovely R129SL remains superbly finished in gleaming Arctic White with a matching hardtop and the dark grey interior shows no sign of wear. We understand that the electric soft top operates perfectly and the car is mechanically sound, not surprising considering the low mileage and fastidious service schedule. Very rare in this crisp colour combination with the desirable 24-valve engine, this classic 'Boulevardier' is ready for your inspection.

To be offered by Silverstone Auctions on 23rd February at Race Retro, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry CV8 2LZ. For further details please contact Guy Lees-Milne 0044 (0) the details below.
