Here is my 1991 R129 300 SL. This has been a great car to own, with so much nostalgic style and sound, can't help but smile while driving it. I took it off the road over winter, and ended up getting something new :) oops... so need to make some room! It's been really fun having the 3 car types in 1. Personal favorite is always the coupe style with hard top on. It is the 2 seater, with 2 compartments in the back. Car also has a very effect wind deflector for when the top is open. The car has had very few owners with me the 3rd, the car was originally sold into Northern Ireland (hence the number plate - yes, that is an 'I' on a number plate!), then bough in UK by the lovely chap I got the car from. It has been looked after very well, with a really cool grey colour combo and grey tartan interior. Nearly all minor issues dealt with as the came up. There are however a few minor issues with the car currently that I am working on fixing so the add might update over time. Current issues are: 1. Driver's seat doesn't tip forward anymore. 2. Ignition switch or relay is playing up, car has never failed to start eventually but its pretty annoying. 3. Waiting for MOT, only failure points were small exhaust leak and faded rear brake pads. Will have MOT shortly also, so price now represents all issues unfixed, and as things get fixed I think the price will change, I'll see! I have done some really long trips in the car in my ownership, taken it down to Le Manns Classic last year and was so much fun. Without any issues getting on and off ferries and waiting around in ques. Everything works as it should (Soft top opens and closes really well!). Body work is really tidy, and interior. Headlining has been replaced not too long ago. There are a couple of areas I have photo'd like a couple of seat blemishes and a rear bumper dink and front repair that's quite visible in the right light. Also the rear plastic screen has split over time and I never got around to getting it replaced as the tape repair has been fine. There is a small box of spares to repair very minor things that will come with the car. Highly recommend coming to view Currently no MOT so will need trailer collection. MOT will be completed in a couple of weeks. Next MOT due 21/ 12/ 2023, Grey, 3 owners, £11, 500
