This 1993 Mercedes-Benz 600SL was originally ordered for the U.S. market and was first registered in Oklahoma, where it remained with its original owner for over 15 years before later residing in Georgia and now Texas. Finished in Arctic White (147) over Gray Leather (278), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter M120 V12 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes Adaptive Damping System (ADS) suspension, a power-operated Black soft top (740), heated rear glass, Becker Grand Prix audio, premium sound system, ASR traction control, a wind deflector, and a removable hardtop. The current owner reports extensive recent maintenance including refurbished soft top hydraulic cylinders approximately 3,600 miles ago, replacement nitrogen suspension spheres and hydraulic reservoir resealing approximately 3k ago, and a complete A/C service, hood insulation replacement, refurbished wheels, and new tires approximately. Showing just over 35,500 miles, this R129 is now offered with partial service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.
The exterior is finished in Arctic White (147) with matching lower body cladding and factory V12 badging. A removable paint-matched hardtop is included in the sale. Exterior features include integrated fog lamps, heated mirrors, headlamp wipers, heat-insulating glass, and a power-operated black convertible soft top. The seller reports the soft top remains in good condition with no notable tears or damage and operates properly. Cosmetic imperfections include moderate paint cracking and scuffing underneath the front spoiler, a small passenger-side door ding/scuff, and paint cracking noted near the lower corner of the right rear bumper. The vinyl lining on the removable hardtop also shows some separation in areas. Detailed photos of the exterior, hardtop, and noted imperfections are provided in the gallery.
The car rides on recently refurbished AMG Monoblock-inspired alloy wheels with new Royal Black Racing Trac tires measuring 245/40ZR18 mounted at all four corners with 2025 date codes all around. Factory equipment includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), Acceleration Skid Control (ASR), and the optional Adaptive Damping System (ADS) self-leveling suspension. Service performed within the last 3,000 miles includes replacement of the nitrogen suspension spheres and resealing of the hydraulic reservoirs.
The cabin is upholstered in Gray Leather (278) with matching carpets and Burl Walnut trim adorning the center console, dashboard, and door panels. Interior equipment includes power-adjustable seats with integrated seatbelts, automatic climate control, cruise control, a deployable roll bar, a Becker Grand Prix head unit, remote central locking, and a factory optioned premium sound system. The seller notes mild creasing on the seat bolsters and light staining on the passenger-side carpet. Otherwise, the interior presents well and detailed photos are provided in the gallery.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames factory instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer currently displays just over 35,500 miles.
Power comes from Mercedes-Benz’s legendary 6.0-liter M120 DOHC V12, factory rated at 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The included history report documents servicing throughout the vehicle’s life, including fuel system repairs, window regulator replacement, front brake service, engine mount replacement, tie rod replacement, fuel filter replacement, transmission inspection, and routine maintenance. More recent work completed within the last several thousand miles includes refurbished soft-top hydraulic cylinders, replacement nitrogen spheres, hydraulic reservoir resealing, a complete air conditioning service, hood insulation replacement, wheel refurbishment, and installation of new tires. Additional photos of the engine bay are provided in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows three owners from new along with 12 service history records, and lists a minor damage report in September 2018 with no airbag deployment. Additionally, linear mileage updates are shown with registration history in Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texas.
The seller has provided the following videos of the car:
The R129 continues to establish itself as one of the most desirable modern classics to emerge from the Bruno Sacco era, and examples equipped with the M120 V12 sit at the top of the hierarchy. Early-production 600SL models offer a unique combination of analog Mercedes-Benz engineering, vault-like build quality, and effortless V12 performance that would become increasingly rare in later decades. This example benefits from low mileage and substantial recent investment in some of the most commonly discussed R129 maintenance items. The widened Monoblock-style wheels are a particularly fitting addition, filling out the R129’s generous wheel arches nicely while maintaining an era-correct appearance that complements the car’s original design. Finished in timeless Arctic White over Gray Leather and accompanied by a matching hardtop, this V12-powered roadster represents an increasingly difficult specification to find and offers an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic grand touring roadsters.

Since everyone is going to ask, and I didn't see it in the description... any record of engine wiring harness replacement? Awesome to see 2 flip keys included plus another 3 spares. GLWS! M120 FTW! :-)
