Following the success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a tough act to follow, as it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. A special edition R129 was built in 1995 to commemorate Stirling Moss’ historic 1955 Mille Miglia road race win. Moss and Jenkinson achieved the all-time record average speed for this race and ahead of rival Juan Manuel Fangio.The special R129 Mille Miglia was available as an SL320 or SL500 and only available in Brilliant Silver Metallic, equipped with Evo II six-spoke polished alloys and a Red and Black leather interior complemented by carbon-fibre trim. The side fender grilles were also given a rather unique chequered flag treatment.

Understood to be one of just 40 right-hand drive examples made, this example displays just c.56,500 miles from new and with just 4 former keepers recorded on the V5C has been in current ownership since 2021. When the vendor purchased 'JOF 216', it was then subject to new discs, new pads, new Michelin tyres, new Bosch fuel pump, new belt and hoses, new plugs and new oil and filter. The air-conditioning does require attention. The cherished registration 'JOF 216' is included in the sale plus a hardtop, along with the owner's wallet, the handbook, stamped service book, a collection of old MOTs and invoices plus the V5C Registration Document.
