Description
For sale I have the iconic R129 generation Mercedes 500 SL supplied by Yanase Japan, which has been in my ownership since 2020.
The car has always been garaged and used in fair weather only.
I am looking to trim down my current Mercedes collection hence this well maintained 500sl AMG is up for sale.
This car is no different and has been very well maintained with the most common r129 issues addressed.
The R129 SL values have started to climb in recent years. A V8 powered R129 is a supremely nice way to make rapid, relaxed progress coupled with AMG enhancements.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find an SL 500 AMG or even trying to recreate one with genuine parts as the prices for pre-merger AMG parts are sky high that's if you can find them.
take in consideration the cost of OZ AMG splits without tyres alone!!This particular model is a YANASE tuned 500SL Jap import which has been in UK since 2015.
Its fully registered and UK compliant.
