The seller offers for sale this 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL 320, powered by a 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in an unusual and eye-catching shade of green and set off by a luxurious interior colour scheme, this SL stands apart from the more commonly seen examples. It sits slightly lowered on a set of handsome alloy wheels, giving it a purposeful yet elegant stance, and the seller reports that it runs and drives very well. The indicated mileage is approximately 150,000 miles.
Please note that while the powered soft top’s motor can be heard operating, the roof mechanism no longer functions and the car therefore remains permanently open. This is stated clearly so that prospective buyers have a full understanding of the car. Even so, as an open two-seater with strong colours and a distinctive character, this SL offers plenty of appeal for the enthusiast who enjoys top-down motoring.
The R129 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL, produced from 1989 to 2001, is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of the SL concept. Combining crisp, timeless styling with Mercedes’ renowned build quality and engineering, it offered a blend of comfort, refinement and effortless performance that few rivals could match. The SL 320 sat at the heart of the range, powered by a smooth and torque-rich straight-six that suited the car’s relaxed grand touring character perfectly.
With its combination of a strong six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission and the inherent solidity of the R129 platform, the SL 320 makes for a comfortable and capable cabriolet. Presented here in a genuinely individual colour combination and offered as a Dutch car, this example provides a characterful and distinctive way into R129 ownership.
