This authentic R129 SL Briefcase was offered by Mercedes-Benz exclusively with the 2002 SL-Class Silver Arrow Editions. It’s finished in aluminum with black protectors on each corner. The inside features leather bound pockets on the top portion and fully lined with fabric. The "Silver Arrow" moniker is shown between the metal clasps. This rare Silver Arrow briefcase is offered by the seller in Franklin, Tennessee and the shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer.
The Silver Arrow edition R129s were offered for the 2002 model year only of which 1,550 total units were produced. Each model came exclusively with a "Silver Arrow" briefcase and many have been lost or separated from the cars today.
The exterior casing is finished in alumimum which matches the additional aluminum touches on the Silver Arrow edition cars. Black protectors at each corner are fully intact with light wear noted consistent with age. Two metal clasps lock and unlock with the "Silver Arrow" moniker featured at the center.
The inside is lined with a unique cloth along both ends. The top portion also features leather bound pockets when opened up. The original 2002 SL-class Mercedes-Benz brochure which was included with the briefcase when new is also included.
The MB Market Insights
When it comes to collectibility, having a complete car can make all the difference. And a complete car means accessories too. This rare briefcase is one of the must-have pieces for any R129 Silver Arrow owner. These were offered exclusively with the Silver Arrow editions which were offered for the final year model, 2002 SL500 and SL600's of which only 1,550 were produced. Rarely do we see the accompanying briefcase with the cars today. Not only are the cars rare, but these briefcases have become even more difficult to track down. So if you're looking to complete the puzzle and give your Silver Arrow that extra value add, this is one you won't want to pass up.
Thanks to everyone for your interest in this Silver Arrow collectible. It’s evident by the pictures, but just be clear, the winning bid will get the briefcase AND brochure. Unfortunately I never had the certificate, pen, or key ring that would have originally come with the case when new. As such, these 3 items are not included. Thanks again for your interest and I look forward to passing this great item to its next custodian.
