*** R129 500SL – Original books and service history - Midnight Blue Over Grey Leather – Iconic Design, V8 Power, Timeless Status – Exceptionally Clean Example – Collectible Classic That Defined an Era & Much More… ***

Your Opportunity:
Offered here is a truly special piece of Mercedes-Benz history — a beautifully preserved 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R129) finished in elegant Midnight Blue Metallic over Grey leather. This example is remarkably clean and original, representing one of the most iconic open-top grand tourers of the modern classic era.

When it was launched, the R129 redefined what a luxury roadster could be. It was the first SL to bring together serious performance, industry-leading safety, and cutting-edge technology in a way that had never been seen in a convertible. The R129 wasn’t just a new model — it was a flagship statement from Mercedes-Benz, and the 500SL sat right at the top of the range.

Why the R129 500SL Is an Icon:
First shown at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the R129 marked a dramatic evolution from the previous R107. It introduced sleek, aerodynamic styling, automatically deploying roll bars, and multi-link rear suspension that transformed handling and comfort.

The 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 delivered refined power and performance, making it a true autobahn cruiser.

For Mercedes-Benz, the SL had always symbolised technological innovation — and the R129 became the benchmark for what a luxury roadster should be throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

This generation SL was owned by global figures, from heads of state to celebrities — a symbol of success and taste, not flash.
