V8 convertible
If you think back to the 1990s, it was a period when high-end cars like this R129 SL500 came loaded with a host of then-new technology. At the time this also meant the prices were loaded up and you needed to be very well-off to afford one.
Now, not so much. This series SL – like some of its contemporaries – now represents a lot of value for the dollar and good examples should be climbing in value.
In our profile on this model: “The SL-class Mercedes-Benz is a mainstay in the car collecting world, and arguably the paragon for drop-top luxury motoring. Its collectible provenance can be traced back to the ubiquitous ‘Gullwing’ models of the 50s.”
This 1995 SL500 is showing a little under 80,000km on the odo and is located in Brisbane. It’s at auction with Collecting Cars.
