LAST OWNER 9 YEARS JAP IMPORT
2 Previous Owners, We are Pleased to offer This 1994/L Mercedes Benz 500SL R129 5.0 V8 Automatic Finished in Blue Black Metallic with Full Black Leather Complimented with Burr Wood Interior Trim.The Mercedes Benz R129 SL arrived in 1989 launching the worlds best loved open top grand tourer into the 1990s with style. The chrome and black rubber exterior that was synonymous with the previous generation was gone; in favour of a clean, angular design that has stood the test of time. The Bruno Sacco penned sillhouette looks as good today as it did when we first saw it in the last 1980s. This New SL offered all of the luxury and panache that SL owners had become used to with a range of powerful engine trim levels and options making them some of the most desirable and collectable of all the classic Mercedes Benz SL.Original Hardtop included Electric Windows Electric Memory Heated Seats Cruise Control 17 Inch Multi-spoke AMG Alloy Wheels, Air Conditioning Electric Roll Bar with Windbreaker Electric Rear View Mirror Unlike similar classic cars this example has lived in Japan In Japan they do not use salt on most roads, the climate is warm and very very dry but not intense heat such as other hot countries This Creates the perfect environment for a car to live and as a result cars do not deteriorate or age there like normal vehicles would elsewhere JDM vehicles are also are subject to the Japanese Shaken a strict government test to ensure cars on Japanese roads are kept to an extremely high standard as cars get older this gets stricter and as a result most cars are not kept longer than 6 or 7 years so classic cars of this age still in Japan are rare indeed Japan is a very congested place, road tolls are high and as a result many use Japans far advanced public transport systems on a daily basis hence cars get far less use which results in very low mileage. Finally foreign cars like this that were imported into Japan were vastly expensive when new and deemed special from day one, Japanese owners have a culture of keeping special cars such as this a long time, so many have been in very long term and enthusiastic ownership too. Many believe these are the best classic cars you can buySupplied with 1 Key MOT Expires 26/05/2026
