The car's glass panels are clear and intact while the vehicle's lights are in one piece and haze-free. This car rolls on Michelin radials, size 245/45ZR17 at all four corners. Each tire is wrapped around five-spoke AMG wheels and both tires and wheels look great. This car's bodywork is straight and the doors and trunk close with the usual bank vault solidity. The Java-colored power-folding soft-top (code 745) had a surprise safety extra, a pop-up rollbar that automatically activated if the car sensed a rollover condition The trunk is in very good order, including the six-disc CD changer tucked away on the driver's side. The engine bay is extremely tidy and the car's bumpers fit tightly to the body.� The car was consistently maintained by Auto Europa of Naples, Florida where it spent most of it's life.� We have receipts in hand for tune-ups, required services, fluid flush, A/C repair, seat panel replacement, water pump, top service and much more at a cost of over $25,000.00!

The car's power sideview mirrors are inoperable. Inside, this Benz offers a Saffron leather interior (code 234A). The bucket seats, matching carpeting and headliner in the hardtop are all in very good overall shape. The instrument panel, with its full instrumentation, is in one piece and looks great. The factory four-spoke steering wheel is present and looks fine. The inner door panels, mirror glass, center console and gear selector are all in similar, very good order. This car comes with driver and passenger front airbags as well as side-mounted airbags. Completing the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with CD slot and digital audio links to CD player instead of analog copper. The SL500, or R129, was produced as a two-door, two-seat�roadster�with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible�textile roof, with a shell-like, color-matched,�tonneau cover. All R129s came standard with an aluminum�detachable hardtop�that was fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching the hardtop. Designed in 1984, the R129 was based on the shortened floorpan of the�Mercedes-Benz W124 and featured many innovative details for the time, for instance electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System�ADS, optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The previous model's somewhat dated rear suspension with semi-trailing arms gave way to a modern multi-link axle. The number of standard features was high, with electric action for the windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top.
