Because nothing says 'I’ve made it' like a V8 convertible with more tech than most in 1992.
What is the most thoroughly engineered convertible on the classic car scene today? Well, we think the R129 has got to be up there on that list. The SL500 is the flagship model, featuring the bombproof M119 5.0L V8 engine—it had more power than some of the Ferraris on sale at the same time.
The SL500 was also one of the safest cars ever built at the time, equipped with its ‘Wunderbar’ (an automatic roll bar), which deploys within milliseconds if the car flips over. Even to this day, it’s considered an extremely safe sports car to own.
This 1992 500 SL is a stunning low-mileage example, carefully looked after by the same family for the past 18 years.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Paul the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
