1️⃣ 348 Pearl Blue 1993 SL 500
One of ours. One-owner, 73k miles, and now being prepped for sale. A lovely original R129.
2️⃣ 366 Azurite Blue 1994 S 500 Coupé
A beautiful C140 in for engine diagnostics, electrical gremlins and servicing. Hesitation under load, so we’re working through the usual suspects.
3️⃣ 199 Blue Black 1994 SL 500
Another of our own cars. 126k miles, beautifully running LH-Jetronic M119, now into cosmetic fettling before sale.
4️⃣ 199 Blue Black 1994 SL 600
A gorgeous V12 sent from Switzerland for a long-standing ASR fault. Solved within a few hours, now into cosmetic work. One of the best maintained V12 R129s we’ve seen.
5️⃣ 199 Blue Black 1994 SL 500
A long-sat revival project with genuine pre-facelift AMG styling. Wiring is going back on and we’re hoping to have it running properly before handover.
