Mercedes
SL300-24 (R129)

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of this majestic Mercedes-Benz 300SL 24V from the first series, a breathtaking gem of automotive artistry.

​

This roadster stands out with its stunning color combination of timeless silver metallic, paired with black leather and a black soft top, reflecting the legendary “Silver Arrow” myth. This enhances the classic lines of the car and gives the body an elegant and sophisticated appearance that perfectly showcases the SL.

In January 1992, this elegant convertible was delivered from the legendary Bremen factory and found its way to its first owner, a respected entrepreneur from Porta Westfalica, on January 15, 1992. He sold the car just 2.5 years later, after 22,750 km, for 110,000 DM (original purchase receipt available) to our client, a successful businessman from the picturesque Schaumburg region, who has owned it for nearly 30 years.

This meticulously maintained roadster has been kept exclusively in a garage (dry and well-tempered) and has never been driven in winter, let alone in the rain. It has no dents, no scratches, and no rust – this car is in almost flawless condition, both inside and out. Furthermore, it is, of course, a completely pet-free and non-smoking vehicle.

The incredibly low total mileage of just 45,184 km is well-documented by many original Mercedes-Benz invoices. The vehicle has been continuously registered since the day of its first registration and has undergone regular inspections every two years.

 

The comprehensive history reflects the owner’s love for this car: regular maintenance at Mercedes-Benz and biennial inspections are clear indicators of the care this vehicle has received.

A recent inspection, including an oil change and new brakes, was performed at Mercedes-Benz a few kilometers ago. The tires still have about 7mm of tread depth. The next inspection is due in June 2025. Upon request and buyer's expense, we can assist in obtaining historic vehicle registration (H-Zulassung).

The Mercedes is 100% in its original paint (no touch-ups or repairs), and is, of course, accident-free. Moreover, the car is rust-free and shows no scratches or dents, making its condition near mint.

This year, the 84-year-old owner has decided to pass this treasure into new, loving hands, as he must also part with the garage, the beloved roadster’s home, due to a property sale.

We are delighted to offer you this impeccably maintained 300SL 24V from the R 129 series. It is a unique opportunity for enthusiasts or collectors to secure this future classic – a beautiful, accident-free garage-kept vehicle in its original paint from German delivery with only one previous owner and a total mileage of just 45,000 km, regularly maintained at a Mercedes-Benz dealership and in an incredibly well-kept condition – where else can you find something like this?

Prepare to be enchanted by a legend – the Mercedes-Benz R129 300 SL 24V. This vehicle is not just a car, but a timeless icon that has captured the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
