With prices for the older Mercedes-Benz models, such as the
'Pagoda' and W107 SLs heading ever higher, many enthusiasts are now
starting to look at the R129 series SL. Produced from 1989-2001, it
combined timeless elegance, luxury and effortless performance, with
V12 engines available for the first time. The R129 was the last SL
with a detachable hardtop and - for many Mercedes fans - the last
to be built to the marque's legendary standards of
construction.With that sophistication came new levels of equipment
and unprecedented complexity. For would-be buyers today, there are
more points than ever to watch out for. The cars' weight also puts
strain on components such as the brakes and suspension. Choosing a
good R129 demands care.This buyer's guide will help you do just
that. Learn about the differences between models, and what to look
for when buying. What are the true running costs, and what issues -
with the mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of?
Find the answers to these questions and information about the clubs
and specialists who can help look after your R129 today.
