The Mercedes-Benz R129 models were produced from 1989 through to 2001 and were sold under the "SL-Class' model names. The R129 was based on the shortened floor pan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 saloon and featured many innovative details seen for the time. For example, electronically controlled shock absorbers (optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The level of standard equipment was high, with electrically operated windows, mirrors, seats and convertible hood.
Built to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Stirling Moss' win in the 1955 Mille Miglia road race, the R129 Mille Miglia was available as either a 320SL or 500SL. It could only be ordered in Brilliant Silver Metallic, equipped with Evo II six-spoke polished alloys and a red and black leather interior, complemented by carbon-fibre trim. The lower wing grilles were also given a unique 'chequered flag' treatment that, upon close inspection, is a clever collection of chrome squares.
Finished in Brilliant Silver with contrasting Black and Red leather interior, the Mille Miglia Special Edition 320SL on offer here presents beautifully and boasts climate control, cruise control, hard top, full electric power roof, heated and electric seats. A rare 1 of 40 limited edition cars, this example scored an impressive 90 out of 100 in an assured inspection by the very well regarded SL shop in February of this year. First registered on the 22nd August 1995 by Mr. Burgin, who according to the supplied original purchase receipt paid £64,850 for the car. Boasting an impressive service history file accompanying it, the service book shows 12 stamps at time of writing, the first seven of which were by Mercedes-Benz Coverdale.
Supplied with a V5C registration document, a fresh MoT and service by known Mercedes Benz specialist, previous MoT test certificates, original books in their original wallet, invoices, purchase receipt and factory hardtop. Reported to be run and drive very well and benefitting from a fresh service and MoT, this rare and desirable special edition 320SL is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner. Consigned by Will Penrose.
