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. This one comes with the original Certificate which is another value add. It's also neat to see the original bubble wrap and box still with the briefcase. 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.
