Here we have a beautifully presented Mercedes-Benz SL600 (R129), first registered in 1995 and finished in an elegant metallic blue, paired with a light grey leather interior and a contrasting navy blue soft top.

With 128,000 miles recorded and eight former keepers, this SL600 wears its history honestly and proudly. Beneath the bonnet sits the jewel in the crown – Mercedes-Benz’s legendary 6.0-litre M120 V12, a powerplant that perfectly represents the brand’s no-expense-spared era. Turbine-smooth, immensely refined and effortlessly muscular, it delivers its performance in a relaxed, cultured manner, making this SL every inch the long-legged grand tourer it was designed to be.

The exterior presents extremely well, the metallic blue paintwork suiting the timeless R129 lines beautifully. Panel fit and stance are exactly as they should be, sitting on correct factory alloy wheels, while the navy blue fabric hood complements the car perfectly and completes the understated, period-correct look.

Inside, the cabin is a wonderful place to spend time. The grey leather upholstery remains comfortable and inviting, offset by classic Mercedes wood trim and that unmistakable sense of solidity that defined the marque in the 1990s. Everything feels engineered rather than assembled, with a level of build quality that modern cars rarely replicate.

Further to 2021, the car benefits from a well-documented maintenance history, supported by a number of invoices. These include rectification of ABS and ASR issues, the fitment of new tyres and a full four-wheel alignment in 2022, followed by a major service carried out in 2023. The history reflects continued care and sensible ownership, focused on keeping the car properly sorted and usable.

Prior to sale, the SL600 will be supplied having undergone a full workshop health check, a fresh service and a brand-new MOT, ensuring it is fully prepared for its next custodian to enjoy with confidence.

Now firmly emerging as a modern classic, V12 R129 SLs are becoming increasingly hard to find. Offering understated luxury, effortless performance and genuine engineering gravitas, this is a flagship Mercedes from a golden era.
