The seller offers for sale this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, powered by a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This is a very completely equipped example of the R129 generation, finished in the distinctive Bornite metallic over a leather interior. The specification includes electrically adjustable seats with memory and air cushion function, air conditioning, 18-inch alloy wheels fitted with new summer tyres, the original Mercedes-Benz towbar and the original factory hardtop. The combination of colour, wheels and equipment gives this SL a particularly individual appearance, and the car comes with a valid inspection. With 111535 km recorded, it presents as an appealing proposition for both the enthusiast and the collector.
The R129 generation of the SL, introduced in 1989, marked a technological leap for the legendary roadster line. Styled under Bruno Sacco, it combined clean, timeless lines with pioneering safety engineering, including the famous automatically deploying roll-over bar and integrated seat belt system. Built to the exacting standards of Mercedes-Benz’s golden engineering era, the R129 was praised from the outset for its solidity, refinement and effortless open-top touring ability, qualities that have only grown more apparent with time.
The 300 SL version, with its smooth and durable inline six, offers the classic SL experience in a wonderfully usable form: powerful enough for relaxed continental cruising, yet mechanically straightforward and famously long-lived. The R129 has firmly established itself as a sought-after modern classic, and well-specified, well-kept examples with the original hardtop are increasingly appreciated. This Bornite metallic car, with its full-option character, represents the model at its most complete.
