The R129 Mercedes SL is now a classic - and these 12 are for sale

In some ways, the R129 generation Mercedes SL represented the end of a genetic chain that began way back with the legendary 300 SL, being the last of Mercedes’ drop-top grand tourers to pair a folding soft top with a removable fixed hard top. Couple that with those oh-so-attractive crisp lines courtesy of the master Bruno Sacco, and you have an exceedingly desirable future classic.
