In preparation for the sale, the selling dealer has installed a new battery, new spark plugs, a new A/C compressor, and freshly rebuilt hydraulic cylinders for the top. This R129 shows 112k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer in Florida with manufacturer’s literature, recent receipts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title.
The car is finished in Beryll Blue Metallic (888) with paint-matched lower cladding, and features a matching removable hardtop as well as a black soft top. Additional features include fog lights, headlight wipers, and fender air vents. The selling dealer reports the paint to be in good condition across the body. The hardtop paint shows a couple bubbles but is otherwise nice. The black soft top shows without major snags or holes and the window shows some cloudiness and the front bumper shows a crack at the bottom right.
Chrome 16″ eight-hole alloy wheels are mounted with chrome OEM center caps. The wheels show some pitting and flaking in various areas. The front wheels wear Toyo tires measuring 225/50 and the rear wheels wear Nexen tires measuring 225/55. The self-leveling-suspension with adaptive damping reportedly performs without issue.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable seats upholstered in Beige Exclusive Leather (575) with burl wood accents on the doors, shifter and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, automatic climate control, cruise control, trunk mounted CD changer, a heated rear hardtop window, and a Bose Acoustimass sound system. The cabin shows some wear around the major touch-points and traffic areas including the door sills, footwells, and door cards. Additionally the dashboard shows some lifting leather spots. Detailed photos of the cabin are available in the gallery.

The 6.0-liter M120 V12 was factory rated at 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The included Carfax report shows several service history records since new. In preparation for the sale, the selling dealer has installed a new battery, new spark plugs, a new A/C compressor, and freshly rebuilt hydraulic cylinders for the top. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.

The R129 is quickly growing in popularity in the classic car market as the next SL to own. As the focus has now turned to some of the 90's Sacco-era designs, enthusiasts and collectors are on the hunt for clean R129s. Specifically, those with the M120 V12 under the hood are leading the way from a value standpoint and when finished in a rare color combination such as this it’s so special to see. This SL600 fits the daily-driver bill perfectly and features some good recent servicing for good peace-of-mind. The chrome OEM wheels are a nice period-correct nod to the 90's and really helps this V12 become a time machine. As predictions for R129 values are set to significantly rise in the coming years, now is the time to get your hands on this rare driver example.
