MERCEDES SL320 AUTO (R129) 1995. BERYL BLUE/CREAM LEATHER WITH HARDTOP, SOFTOP

Mercedes SL320 1995 (R129)

3.2 straight-six engine, Automatic transmission.  176000 miles – many of them motorway miles by the second owner.

Beryl Blue metallic with cream leather interior.

Comes with hardtop and fully working soft-top.  There is an original wind deflector included (not shown in pictures) which attaches to the roll-over hoop.  It is stored in the boot and there is a cover panel to match the interior trim which can be seen in one of the pictures.

Electric seats, electric windows, electric mirrors.

Pre-facelift model with digital odometer

3 local owners.  Car supplied by local MB dealer.

I have owned the car for 6 years and have done steady maintenance and improvement work.  The car has been insured and used as a ‘classic' by me and used sparingly.  I am a member of the Mercedes Benz Club which is useful for advice & support with technical info.  The car drives really well and has been reliable in the time I have had it.  Spares support from dealers is excellent and there is a ready supply of used spares at very good prices.

I am selling the car as the kids are learning to drive and we have limited drive space.  I have enjoyed owning the car and wouldn't be selling if I had the room to keep it.  It is economical to maintain and not expensive to insure on a classic policy with limited mileage.

4 new tyres fitted last year on original MB 8-hole alloys (with full-size spare)

2 new genuine Mercedes Benz wings, painted at local dealer paintshop.

2 keys – 1 newly purchased from Mercedes Germany in 2020 (unused).

Kenwood radio cassette with CD changer (6-disc, boot mounted).

Cruise Control

Comes with original owner's manuals  in leather folder.  Original first-aid kit.  Some service history in file.

The car would benefit from some paintwork as the hardtop has some blistering under the paint in a few places (I think the roof is aluminium and it corrodes – see picture).

All electrical items work fine and the car has a Bosch battery which is maintained on a C-Tek smart charger.  All instrumentation is complete & working.

The aircon isn't cooling (heater system works fine apart from that).

The rear screens of the soft top have discoloured and cracked slightly where folded.  I had a quote from a local trimmer for £250 to fit new screens but as I didn't really use the soft top I didn't bother.

The leather interior is in good condition.  I have run the car with overmats, and the original carpets/mats are in good condition.

I am happy for anybody to view the car.  I am asking what I believe to be a realistic price because of the mileage, but in other respects I think the car is as nice as you would find at significantly higher prices.  It is ideal for somebody who wants the enjoyment of owning a nice, reliable car that is pleasurable to drive and can take satisfaction from having bought it at the bottom of its price curve.
