[R129 SL] New car

[George - R129]

Patrick - you definitely need an R129 500SL of 1990 which was the second 
year of their production. Later models were strangled and MB were losing 
quality but the first years saw 325 bhp and all the extras you could 
possibly wish for as standard - memory seats/mirrors (3), cruise 
control, leather, hard/soft top, automatic, a/c etc. etc.,  - hell, they 
cost about EUR 90,000 new !!!

By chance, I happen to have one for sale. Burnt silver (a light metallic 
beige) with tobacco brown leather seats and a dark brown hood. It has 
the child seats and adaptive suspension options plus the original necker 
Mexico 2000 and a Silversone Becker 10 CD player in the boot. It's LHD 
and only 160K km with full MB service and EUR 4K spent in the last 3 
years. Yours for EUR15,000 - a steal.
