Chassis No: WDB1290632F128770
MOT: March 2025
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 air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.
Manufactured new in 1996, this SL 320 was supplied new to the United Kingdom being registered new on the 1st of May that year and was delivered to its first keeper by Mercedes-Benz main agents Lancaster Bow Ltd. of London. Finished from the factory in Green Black metallic paintwork with Beige leather interior upholstery, ‘N855 DME’ is accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop, and was specified from new with an adjustable steering column, speakers front and rear, headlamp cleaning equipment, eight-hole alloy wheels, and speakers front and rear. In current registered ownership since 2005, the Mercedes has been in dry storage for the last six years and has recently been taken out of storage for sale.
Offered for sale now with 101,200 miles on the odometer and just two former keepers, ‘N855 DME’ is supplied with a history file that contains the original books including the stamped service book which illustrates fifteen entries, the most recent being completed at 100,582 miles. Further included in the history file is a large collection of invoices for work and maintenance while in current ownership, numerous previous MOT certificates, a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025, and a current V5C document. Intended purchasers should note that since being taken out of storage the vendor has realised that the hood is now inoperable but believes this could be due to a faulty window control module (although this cannot be guaranteed).
