Info about this vehicle:

1993 Mercedes-Benz SL500 R129 - White - 200,694km - 5.0L V8, Hardtop Included, Australian Delivered
2-Door Convertible | 5.0L M119 V8 | 4-Speed Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 200,694km | 2 Seats

Description

The R129 SL is the car that kept Mercedes-Benz at the very top of the grand touring world through the 1990s. Engineered to a standard that makes modern cars look disposable, the R129 introduced the automatic pop-up roll bar, double-wishbone suspension all round, and a level of build quality that is simply not replicated today. The SL500, with its silky 5.0-litre M119 V8, was the sweet spot of the range, offering effortless performance without the complexity of the V12.

This Australian-delivered example is finished in white with a navy blue leather interior, a striking combination that looks particularly good with the top down. The exterior paint presents well with good gloss across all panels and no obvious signs of accident repair. The colour-matched white hardtop is included and fits cleanly, transforming the car into an elegant coupe silhouette. The black fabric soft top is functional and in good order. Inside, the navy leather shows honest wear consistent with the car's age and use. The driver's seat has a notable split on the front cushion that would benefit from professional repair. Burl walnut wood trim, factory Becker radio, and the full climate control system are all present. The Mercedes-Benz of Sydney dealer sticker in the engine bay confirms Australian dealer provenance. AMG-style multi-piece alloy wheels have been fitted, giving the car a sportier stance than the factory originals. The odometer reads 200,694km and the original Mercedes-Benz document wallet, first aid kit, and Australian compliance plate (Commission No. 02 12818) are all included.

R129 SL500s are firmly established as modern classics. Good examples in Australia trade between $25,000 and $50,000 depending on condition and provenance. White over blue is a desirable colour combination, and the inclusion of the hardtop adds real value. This is a lot of grand touring car for the money.
