The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front airbags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.
Manufactured in 1997 for the UK market, the SL 320 offered was first registered on 30th September that year. Finished from the factory in Obsidian Black Metallic paintwork with Mushroom leather interior upholstery, and a Black electric hood, the SL was specified with the options of headlamp cleaning equipment and rear seats. Purchased by the vendor in 2011, the Mercedes-Benz has had just three former keepers and is offered with just 74,000 miles from new. It’s supplied with the original book pack, containing the stamped service book that has documented service history from predominantly Mercedes-Benz main agents and specialists and has nine stamps, as well as the PDI stamp. Also offered
with a collection of previous MOTs, a ‘no advisory’ MOT certificate until May 2025, and a current V5C document, the SL is further accompanied by the original hardtop with plug-in heated rear windscreen and the hardtop stand is available by separate negotiation.
