Bid for your chance to own this 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL AMG 6.0L on The MB Market. The car was modified in period by AMG Japan and features an M119 V8 that was increased in displacement to 6.0 liters by AMG. This authentic AMG was recently serviced and is offered at No Reserve.

People seem reluctant to compare them to the Hammer 124's, but it's the same chassis basically in a two seater with the next generation of the engine the Hammer cars were evolving into made by the same crew. I totally get why the Hammers are a different matter value and rarity wise and for the things the more mechanically minded admire. But from a pure drivers perspective putting that 6 in a two seater is truly the excitement and spirit of the period on a stick. I wish I hadn't sold mine but it deserved to be garaged and circumstances change.
Surely one of the most undervalued cars available generally speaking. You can maintain them as a daily like a regular R129 but they are anything but. Going by Hammer and V12 prices these should be more money and they surely will be. I hope whoever wins it drives it and enjoys it. They both deserve it and need it to be maintained properly
Lovely. The post 2006 cars are much more robust.
@ubergruberAh yes that was you! Hope you're well. They had their own corner at the Bremen Werks at this time from what I understand. There was a video on YT some years ago that had a couple of clips including an M119 going in an S124 but haven't seen it for some time.
@ubergrubermy 92 Brunei car ( december 91 MB build ) only showed the stock 500SL on the card. No code. The Brunei RF were buying UK RHD cars then sending them to Germany. I contacted amg who had no records, but somewhat begrudgingly conceded it was a real car when I sent them pics of the engine stamp. This allowed me to get the correct CC added to the UK V5 for insurance purposes. But it will still forever just show the stock car from the VIN ( https://thembmarket.com/1992-mercedes-benz-500sl-amg-6-0-2 )Like seller says anyone who has driven both a stock car and a 6.0 will know the difference from the torque at any revs!
@Stuttgart_Steel It was my first Benz ( it's all I drive now ) and I didn't realise I was pulling off in 2nd for the first 6 months. Didn't seem slow
@Stuttgart_SteelI owned the 92 Anthracite car from Brunei that I sold on here and I had to comment and concur. The 89-92 6.0's are truly special beasts. I enjoyed 6000 miles on empty country roads during Covid in mine and your driving video made me miss it. The Torque is just always there at any speed, right up to the limit. So much fun. For me they are the best version of the 129 above the 7's and everything else from a driving perspective and they look better too. It is obviously the engine the Hammer cars were evolving into. Good luck with the sale.
I'm strictly 89-92 with 129's most of the time, but this is a real gem.
@TinoAndAlexabsolutely. it's so boring these days in comparison. Here's the card for my CL I was referring to https://www.lastvin.com/vin/Mm8YVdBLz4k2JaKyD I don't think your car needs much help in the special department though! Incredible. Best of luck with the sale
@TinoAndAlexyeah on the card for my 97 C140 they're chatting away about the interior in German for another two pages beyond the official spec list. Definitely makes the car feel more individual/special
@gsxrIt's referred to in Europe as Petrol Blue rather than green as I remember it. The 877 code being Blue Green Metallic. Lovely colour whatever the case
@VIGILNah, it's perfect as it is. The 89-92 stock cars retain that quality the 70's and 80's cars had. This one deserves to stay exactly as it is, and I love a 6.0 amg as much as the next man.
Absolute bargain
Coolest daily ever!
@wahipNo connection to seller but it does say the harness has been replaced in the text. I am jealous of whoever wins this car, if it was RHD would be bidding myself.
I have the details of a firm a friend of mine has used recently, although not sure of costings, can give you details if you send me your contact details through a message on here. Also, just so everyone is aware and to save time, the reserve on the car is a six figure sum, not five. Thanks
@ubergruberWill do. Cheers
@ubergruber Hi. Not this Sunday I'm afraid, but yes next weekend will most likely work. It's at a facility and weekdays are actually easier for access without pre-arranging, but will talk to them tomorrow and perhaps we could do it on the Saturday, or can do in the week too. Thanks
@NurbnerdThank you!
What a stunner
