history
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL280
is a refined example of late-1990s German engineering, blending timeless design
with understated performance. Finished in striking Turquoise Metallic with a
Cream leather interior, this R129-generation roadster presents as a true modern
classic and an unmistakable head-turner.
Powered by a smooth 2.8-litre
engine paired with automatic transmission, the car delivers the composed and
effortless driving experience the SL is renowned for.
First registered in
March 1999 and costing £64,616 when new, it benefits from an impressive factory
options list totalling £6,916. Notable features include the exclusive leather
interior, desirable glass hard top, Xenon headlamps, wood and leather steering
wheel, anti-glare rear-view mirror, and the original MB Audio 10 CD
system.
The vehicle has had eight
former keepers, with the current owner having cared for the car since December
2022. It is offered with an MOT valid until February 2027, supported by a
substantial history file including 18 previous MOTs, 16 service stamps recorded
up to 2009, and invoices documenting maintenance through to 2019 along with
additional works carried out over the years and the original
handbook.
On site the car started,
stopped and drove as expected during photography and a short video session. A
well-specified and increasingly collectible R129, this SL280 represents an
appealing opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors
alike.
