This 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL320 is 1 of only 250 40th Anniversary Editions produced and comes finished in designo Quartz Blue Metallic (012) over a Gray Leather (268) interior. This roadster was sold new in Belleview, Washington where it remained registered with the first owner through 2018. Power comes from a 3.2-liter M104 I6 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a Dark Blue convertible top, matching removable hardtop, power-adjustable and heated seats, and a factory stereo with a trunk-mounted OEM six-CD changer. Services under the current owner’s care includes an oil service, new top hydraulics, and a complete replacement of every light bulb in the car to ensure functionality. This R129 now shows just over 87k miles and is offered by the owner in California with factory literature, a factory brochure, a first aid kit, tool kit, 2 key fobs, a Carfax report, and a clean CA title in the owner’s name. 

The 40th Anniversary Edition SL was offered in only two colors, with this example being finished in designo Quartz Blue Metallic (012).
