The seller offers for sale this 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in green over a contrasting cream leather interior, this R129-generation SL is the elegant, modern roadster that replaced the long-running R107. It carries an indicated 167,339 km and features the power-operated soft top that made the R129 such a relaxed and practical open car to live with.
The seller reports an independent appraisal of the car at 21,500 euro. The 300 SL designation denotes the entry point of the R129 range, powered by Mercedes-Benz’s smooth twin-cam straight-six, a combination that suits the car’s role as a refined long-distance cruiser rather than an outright sports car. Presented in an attractive period colour combination, it offers an accessible route into one of the most respected modern Mercedes-Benz cabriolets.
Introduced in 1989, the R129 SL represented a major step forward for Mercedes-Benz, with a body penned under design chief Bruno Sacco and a host of advanced features for its time, including an automatically deploying roll-over bar and a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension. Built to the exacting engineering standards of the era, the R129 has earned a reputation for solidity and longevity, and clean, well-kept examples are increasingly appreciated by collectors as the model takes its place as a modern classic.
On the road the 300 SL is designed to feel composed and refined, combining effortless six-cylinder performance with the security of a substantial, well-built chassis. With its timeless lines, comfortable cabin and easy-to-use folding roof, it remains a hugely appealing cabriolet for touring, and this green example offers a characterful entry into R129 ownership.
