Our Take:
- 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL: A prime example of Mercedes' R129 series, this model is part of a lineage that marked a significant evolution in luxury roadsters. The R129, introduced in the late 80s, brought together timeless design and cutting-edge technology, making it hugely appealing to enthusiasts of German engineering.
- Pre-Merger AMG Features: Sporting authentic AMG components from the era before AMG became a full-fledged Mercedes subsidiary, this particular SL500 has a bit of added flair. With rear trunk/fenders and Aero III wheels, it's not just any SL; it’s a conversation starter for those in the know.
- Advanced Technology of Its Time: The 500SL came with advanced safety features like the automatic roll bar, which was a novelty back in the day. Plus, the hydraulic assembly for the roof—recently replaced here—was a clever piece of engineering, demonstrating Mercedes’ penchant for innovation.
- Originality and Care: The inclusion of the factory paint-matched hardtop makes this SL500 more versatile, keeping its classic allure intact. After detailed maintenance like the installation of a new soft top canvas and updated mechanical components, it’s like this car has rolled out of a 90s time capsule, ready to continue its journey.
