Description:

1996 Mercedes-Benz SL280 R129 - Blue - 169,322km - 2.8L Inline-6, Automatic, Both Tops, Australian Delivery

The R129 SL in its 2.8-litre six-cylinder form, Australian delivered, with both soft top and hard top. Vendor advises seals have been replaced.

Description

The R129 SL is one of the landmark grand tourers of the 1990s. The SL280 with the M104 inline-six is the entry to the range, combining the same exceptional body and chassis with a smooth, reliable six that suits long-distance GT use perfectly.

Photos confirm dark navy blue exterior presenting well with good gloss and straight panels. No obvious collision damage is visible. Chrome and trim appear intact. The hard top is fitted and presents well. The M104 2.8-litre inline-six engine bay is visible and shows age-related grime and dust, typical for a vehicle that has been used over time. It has not been detailed. The Australian compliance plate from Mercedes-Benz (Aust) Pty Ltd, Milperra NSW is confirmed on the driver's door jamb, confirming Australian delivery. Commission No. 06 10150. The interior shows dark navy leather over beige, with wood/burr walnut trim inserts, in fair to good condition. The steering wheel leather shows wear. Vendor advises both soft top and hard top work correctly, and seals have been replaced.
