From an established lineage of beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLs, the R129 range was introduced in 1989 and continued the company's tradition of fast and reliable 'grand touring' convertibles. Joining the range in 1992 the 600SL (changed to the SL600 later that year) was naturally the flagship and featured the company's ultra-smooth, 6.0-litre V12 engine that generated an impressive 389bhp. The 600SL was a fuss-free, fully equipped, luxury sports car that was more expensive, and considerably quicker than the Ferrari 348 of the day.

Finished in Graphite Grey with an all-black interior, this right-hand drive SL was formerly the property of the Sultan of Brunei Royal Family. The V12 has certainly not been overworked during the last 27 years with an odometer reading of 4,904 miles (converted from km on import) and it has been serviced according to mileage with just one stamp in the book at 4,045km in June 1997. The Mercedes was imported into the UK by the current owner in September 2017, a NOVA was issued and all taxes paid. The car has just been recommissioned by the Steve Redfearn Motor Company and there is an invoice with the car for over ú3,000 relating to this work. The MOT is valid until 18/10/2020 and UK registration will be completed before the sale.

The 600SL is a rare car that encapsulates pure Mercedes-Benz V12 engineering from the nineties. With its Royal connections and a mileage that any collector would be drawn to, this classic SL may well be a shrewd investment.
