In one form or another, Mercedes-Benz has been producing a two-seat
sporty convertible since 1954 under the SL-Class moniker (SL
standing for 'Sport Leicht,' or 'Sport Lightweight' in English).
The cars have always been popular standard bearers, and have
combined sporty touring qualities with comfort and quality. The
R129 version of the Mercedes-Benz SL is no exception.For the
1990-1992 model years, Mercedes had prepared a replacement for the
R107 design that had served the SL-Class since 1972. The new R129
design received a state-of-the-art adjustable sport-luxury
suspension and an all-new chassis. Twin A-arm front and fully
independent multi-link rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and
a complete unibody chassis defined the new SL. Safety features
included an automatic roll bar that was designed to extend in the
event of a rollover accident. All SL-Class cars in this era were
delivered with a cloth convertible top and a removable aluminum
hardtop.To mark the start of the R129, Mercedes brought back the
venerable 300SL designation with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder
single overhead cam engine at 190 hp, or double overhead cam at 228
hp. This car is being sold as a project car. It starts, runs, and
drives, but will need service work to correct some issues.At RH
MotorCars, we're enthusiasts first. We want you to enjoy your new
car from the minute it's delivered and the trailer door drops.
Before a car leaves our shop, it's gone through comprehensively,
both visually and mechanically. We do more than just kick the
tires, though: We road test (if the weather permits us here in
Cleveland!) and polish it inside and out.We're proud of our
inventory and do our best in describing each example as accurately
as possible. As with all classic cars, it can be difficult to know
the true miles and history. Further, what one person sees is a gem,
another person might not. So before making an investment, we
encourage you to hire the services of a private inspector for a
third party opinion. After all, we want you to be happy with your
car for years to come!No matter where you'd like your car shipped
to, let us make the arrangements. We've shipped cars all over the
world. Delivering your new ride in an enclosed carrier is nothing
new for us. We'd be honored to arrange all the logistics for you!
Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers through the rarest exotics,
is meant to be driven-get out there!If you have any questions
before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us.
It's what we're here for! Call us at (440) 914-0000, write to us at

Airport so getting to our shop is easy!We welcome any prospective
