1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 (R129)
Appealing
facelift example with desirable glass Panoramic removable hard-top;
well-optioned example with heated electric seats, adj. steering column and
cruise control showing 116,406 miles
Dating from
September 1999 this R129 generation of Mercedes SL comes to us in SL320 guise
and hails from the later period of production, being a 2nd face-lift
example, post MY1998.
Finished in Brilliant
Silver, the car boasts the desirable and expensive (at the time) optional extra
of a glass panoramic removal hard-top (with black Mohair soft-top underneath)
and sits upon its original 17”
five-spoke alloy wheels.
Under the bonnet, as a
2nd face-lift example, we find the 3.2 litre M112 18-valve V6 petrol
engine which develops 221bhp driving the rear wheels via five-speed automatic
transmission.
Inside, we find the cabin light
and airy, courtesy of the removable glass panoramic hardtop with heated rear
screen, light grey leather interior with electric seat operation for both, Burr
walnut trim, electric steering column, electric windows, two-stage heated seats,
digital climate control with AC, half-timbered steering wheel, electric folding
mirrors, original Mercedes Audio10 radio/Cassette player, cassette storage and
electric Mohair soft-top roof. The car also comes with the hard-top stand
pictured.
We did note during photography the
driver’s door check strap is fractured on the driver’s door which will need
attention in the near future before it breaks away
completely.
The history file includes the V5C
revealing just two former keepers to the current owner of 17 years, the owner’s
pack and service book recording five stamps – the last of which was in September
2004 at 62,170 miles.
The file also includes
some invoices including more recently, a full service in January 2022 and new
battery costing £516 and replacement water pump, drive belt and coolant
temperature sensor also in January of this year costing £378. A new OS window
regulator was also fitted in 2016.
The current
MOT is valid until January 2023 recording no advisories, with a further 16 old
MOTs on file to back the modest mileage of 116,406 miles up.
Ready to be enjoyed with the desirable removable factory hard-top
this smart SL looks like good value for money at the guide
suggested.
