@AJ599Absolutely not. This vehicle was sat inside of a barn for years and was used sparingly, until it was finally able to be registered. By that time, the owner had health complications and was not able to drive the vehicle any longer. Our client purchased the vehicle and brought it back to life. The previous owner also serviced the vehicle throughout his ownership. Thank you!

Less than an hour left! Please refresh browsers and let us know of any last minute questions you may have! This is an extremely rare opportunity to own an incredibly low mileage and well specced R129. Happy bidding!

@ERIKFrom our knowledge the wiring harness has not been replaced. Not to worry though, the biodegradable harnesses only came in from 1993 onwards and the early cars are not affected. Happy to provide more info! 

The Sato Grey finish is glossier than the matte finish from the factory. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

There seems to be a very small bump, we will get further photos for this as well. Thank you for pointing that out! Let us know if there is anything else.

Thank you for all of the questions!

1) There have been no modifications to the suspension. We originally thought this as well, but after comparing with other photos on the internet as well as another car it seems to be normal. There perhaps may be some euro differences. The shocks and springs are in perfect shape.

2) Zero cracks or issues from the top windows. It has barely been used.

3) There doesn’t seem to be any damage due to any leaks. It is old leather, we believe it may be due to the sun or simply old age. There’s not really any way for fluid to leak there.
 
4) The undercarriage is not cleaned, this is our mistake. We will be uploading new photos shortly. Thank you! 

5) There is no other sun damage in the interior.

6) Carpets are brand new underneath. We will have photos shortly!

7) Regarding clear coat damage, we believe it’s due to the car sitting outside. We will upload more photos of it.

For full transparency, we want to provide a little more background on this example. This vehicle was purchased from an older gentleman who had a collection of 10+ Mercedes cars from this era, all stored either in a barn or outdoors. Due to some health challenges he faced later in life, these cars were not driven as often as he would have liked. This SL was his absolute favourite and the very last car he chose to sell, as he personally imported it from Japan and cherished it for many years. It was essentially his crown jewel.

Shortly before the sale, he had the car taken in for a full service, including new fuel pumps, tires, fluids, and spark plugs. We repeated some of these services again after our client purchased the car.

At one point in its life, this SL was parked outside, and if you look closely at the photos, you’ll notice scratches on the trunk and behind the Mercedes badge. We were told that someone stole the badges while it was outside. The sun damage also must have occurred during that time. To bring it back to its former glory, we had the two-tone paint resprayed, headlight lenses replaced, and the car fully polished prior to the sale, as described in the listing.

We hope this provides helpful background for all bidders. We believe in complete transparency and want to present this SL exactly as it stands today. It truly is a special example, and we’re confident opportunities to own one in this spec and condition will only become rarer in the years to come. The early R129 design is truly breathtaking in person and is something we will never see again. Thank you all! Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions, we are more than happy to help.

Hello everyone, welcome to our newest auction listing! We are beyond excited to present this incredible 1991 Mercedes-Benz R129 500SL.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime find: An early, European specification R129 with all of the right options. European cars benefited from different headlights, Sport and Economy modes next to the gear selector, and the ability to option out back seats, which this car has! We absolutely love the Euro front plate bracket as well. 

Please do not hesitate comment or contact us directly for any questions that you may have. Transparency is extremely important to us, and we’re happy to provide as much information as possible for all bidders.

Regarding import from Canada to the USA:

Since this vehicle is 25 years old, importing this car from Canada is extremely simple and straightforward. Below is a breakdown of all fees associated with import of this vehicle.

- Duties: 2.5% of Purchase Price
- Entry Fee: $350
- MPF: 0.03464% of the Purchase Price
- Customs Bond: $450
- Shipping: Dependant on state

That’s all there is to it. We have trusted brokers and transport companies who handle these imports regularly, and we are more than happy to guide you through every step. This car is NOT subject to any additional auto tariffs as it is 25 years old.

We truly believe this 500SL represents Mercedes-Benz at its absolute peak. They certainly will never make them like this ever again. Happy bidding to all!

Trump decided to halt tariffs for 90 days. We thought to update you all on this development. As it is very new however, we cannot guarantee this car will be affected or not. This might be your chance to get a good deal on this G63!!

autosportclassic said:

@TerraUnfortunately the auto tariffs will apply to this vehicle if it is being imported to the US. The import duty of 2.5% plus the Auto Tariff of 25%. Hope this helps!
