Description

V1 YDR was first registered on the 17th of September 1999, supplied to a Building Maintenance Company based in Highbridge, Somerset. 17655 miles were covered in the first 6 months for business use, documented by its first service in May 2000. In June 2001, the Mercedes moved on to its second owner in Shifnal where the mileage covered per annum significantly reduced. Whilst in Wolverhampton, the R129 was taken to the Mercedes Main Dealer for servicing at 322397, 38947, 44728, 49411, 52768, 57209, 61697, and 64687 miles. Since its last Service the car has only covered 5,000 miles and will be freshly serviced and MOT tested for its next owner.

This 1999 example benefits from a significant facelift introduced in late 1998, giving it smoother, more modern styling compared to earlier R129 models. The clear front indicators allow for a prettier, more seamless arrangement of the front end. The sleek and long lines of the roadster are draped in a beautiful Turquois metallic paint holding a lovely finish. Powering the 280SL is a 204bhp, 2.8-liter, M112 V6 engine that is both lusty and smooth creating a great balance between spritely acceleration and relaxed grand touring. For the driver, a full leather Tan interior provides brilliant support with a plethora of creature comforts such as automatic climate control, electric adjusting seats, power wing mirrors, power windows, power soft top. In addition to the pleasantries found throughout the cabin, safety features include traction control, ABS, and an advanced roll-over bar.

In summary, this 280SL Auto is a refined, comfortable convertible ideal for scenic drives and weekend getaways in a timeless package of Mercedes over-engineering, excellent build quality, and a sense of occasion when the top is down.
