1989 Mercedes-Benz 500SL (R129)

In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.

• Another of the Stoneacre Collection, this R129 SL500 comes with a substantial service history, up until around 2004
• Top of the range in period, it's powered by 5-litre, 32-valve DOHC V8 offering 326bhp and 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds
• Finished in Obsidian Black with grey leather and a colour-coded hard top
• The service book details extensive history and substantial care with invoices totalling many thousands of pounds
• The history file however seems to lapse around this period and there is little else subsequently
• The car is currently not running but appears to have stood up to the elements fairly well
• Requiring recommissioning undoubtedly, an R129 500 SL-32 is a rare car and this is quite an opportunity
