1998. Still need to clean up the front bumper, and put the headlight wipers back on.

2002 Mercedes Benz SL500 Silver Arrow
Hi everyone!

I am a new member, so please excuse my ignorance. I recently acquired a r129 2002 sl500 silver arrow, but will not be keeping the hardtop that is in pretty much perfect condition, so I wanted to offer it for purchase. I am located in San Diego, California, so if you are interested, please let me know. Thank you. And if you would like to move this to the appropriate thread, feel free; or just advise and I will post there. Thank you!

Seen better days!

But still a daily driver.
Love the Windex in the back seat! I think the owner has more pressing issues to fix before cleaning the windows.

Question Thought on this special R129

Hi everyone,
A friend of mine is selling his R129 1997 SL500. I was told that the owner was friends with someone at daimler and received this car and that it is the only R129 with this color combination in the world. Does anyone know what the name of this interior trim is...? Also, considering the car has 69.000km and is in great conditions, what would a decent price be ?

Mercedes 300CE_24
Hello from Malaysia


Hello MB World. Sold my 300CE_24 for this momma. The C124 served me well for years and I'm gonna miss her. Couple of months into ownership and sorting out all the gremlins. Clearly she was neglected by the previous owner. 95' SL500 - Malaysia

Your SL looks amazing! Great pictures. Cant believe you drove it onto the bike path over there! I only say that because I'm local in Bay Ridge so I know that pier.

1992 500SL
New Ride

Just purchased this 92 locally for $3k, two owner with 88k. Sat for a while and needed some cleaning and maintenance. I'll have to reseal some of the top cylinders, ordered a full set. The headliner on the hardtop was sagging too and I'm currently repairing that. I'll post a repair on it soon. Thing runs awesome and drives great! Love it!

SL 500
SL500 Triple Black

98 Triple Black SL500 Sport, not sure about the previous owners taste in wheels. Guess they'll have to do for now.

2004 E55 K Wagon &. '96 SL500



My 96 Ruby Pearl SL500 and my modern AMG. Itching to take the SL out , as the weather is currently amazing, hope this lock down ends soon and we're back to normal.
Just love the character and traditional Benz feel of the SL compared to the modern AMG.

1999 SL500 Sport
My grandfather finally confirmed that he will be passing his 99 SL500 on to me after my years of helping him from time to time on the car and making hints at it being passed on to me. Im new to the MB world, v8 world. Im used to the JDM/ turbo spectrum. However, Im looking forward to keeping his 500 period correct , maintained to live long, and bit of electronic upgrading for my taste. Here's a graphic I made on photoshop after getting the news. Yes I know the true AMG is the SL55
