1995 MERCEDES SL500

The R129 makes a sensible buy for anyone looking for their first classic, but who doesn’t want an ‘old’ car. Nicely bolted-together, the ‘129’ is one of the last properly-built Benzes and, properly looked after, should provide years of loyal service. This 500, which the vendor has owned for five years, was originally a Japanese market model and has covered 29,000 miles.
