Nostalgia Classic Cars is happy to offer you a very well kept, convertible  Mercedes SL600 1998 with automatic transmission and 106,900 original kilometers.

The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002. The R129 replaced the R107 in 1989 and was in its turn replaced by the R230 SL-Class in 2002 for the 2003 model year.

The R129 was produced as a two-door roadster with an automated (electro-hydraulic) textile tonneau cover. All R129s came standard with an detachable hardtop that could fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching it.

• Fiber-Optic digital audio links to the CD player instead of analogue copper
• One-touch starting- called "Tip-start". Once the key is turned, the engine cranks on its own until it catches and starts.
• Instrument cluster now has silver rings around each gauge
• Oil pressure gauge replaced by oil temperature
