Internally coded R129 and riding a 99-inch wheelbase, the new SL featured handsomely chiseled bodylines, exceptional all-around performance, and cutting-edge safety features including a hidden roll bar that automatically deployed in the event of an impending rollover. First available as the 300SL and 500SL with 3.0L 6-cylinder engine and 5.0L V-8 respectively, the R129 remains one of the finest Grand Touring Mercedes-Benz models ever produced. The V-12 SL600 arrived in 1993 and a model-name change and detail updates from 1994 onward resulted in the renamed SL300/SL500/SL600 models. Fast, solidly built, and renowned for impeccable quality, the R129 SL line was an immediate hit with buyers, particularly in North America. Featuring flawless and 100% original gray paint over matching leather upholstery and power-adjustable bucket seats, this 1993 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is accompanied by a power-operated convertible top and removable auxiliary hardtop. Offered with just one owner and 17K miles from new. Features a black soft top and remains simply outstanding throughout. Robust performance is delivered by a fuel-injected 5.0-liter DOHC V-8 engine developing 315 horsepower in concert with a 4-speed automatic transmission. As expected, this excellent SL500 is well equipped with a wide array of features and options, including air conditioning, an AM/FM CD stereo system, cruise control, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, traction control, telescopic steering, fog lamps, and a rear-window defroster. Power-assisted features include the brakes, locks, mirrors, steering, convertible top, and windows. A full-size spare wheel/tire resides within the trunk and other accompanying items include an owners manual, toolkit and First Aid kit; however, the factory rear windscreen and cover are not included. A top-quality example with remarkably low mileage, this unqualified modern classic is ready to enjoy with a freshly completed detailing.
