Photos of the Week: 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600

Winter is knocking on our door. Temperatures are dropping, holiday shoppers are scrambling, and Christmas music is irritating. Winter also means fewer convertibles appearing on the highways and byways of the Northern Hemisphere. To hold you over during convertible-slump season, we’re featuring a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in this edition of Photos of the Week.

These shots come from forum member JLC5 who calls his 1998 SL600 “Lisa”. We call this V12 R129 a magnificent open-top engineering masterpiece. Would you agree this is the best SL-Class generation of the last 40 years?
