Differences between SL 600 and SL 600 Sport?
I'm looking to buy a 1993-1995 SL 600. In looking for one, I stumbled across the "Sport" models. I am having trouble finding exact information on them. I'd like to know what exactly the Sport model adds over the base! From what I can tell, it's:
AMG styled front/rear bumpers?
Upgraded (larger?) wheels?
Upgraded suspension?
Thanks in advance.

IDK
With that said I have fully restored a 94 SL600, wiring harness ( 3 sections, but not th interior ) Much more money than it is worth in repairs, not to mention restoration.
I will not part with it for less than 40K but it is insured for 60K!
All of that said the above is not reality for anyone in the worlds of Benz!
The sport designation did come with wheel and air deflection additions but I have only seen in the later models ( 97-2002 ) the collector, rare will be the 7.3/4 engine, True AMG that really has the engine mods and not just the wheels, and maybe SA??
Good luck. After your finished we can compare money "put in "to have the toys we own!

I am not sure if there was ever a sport model for the 1993-1995 range. It could be possible that the sport stickers were added on by a previous owner.
As for what makes a sport model, it is simply the AMG bumpers and side skirt, with staggered AMG 18" wheels. I believe this option started in either 1996 or 1997. Other than these changes, there is no difference with a non sport model, as far as I know.
