Sl600 V12
I saw an R129 today that said SL600 V12 on its behind.
At first I thought that it was fake, but I found a picture of it on this forum.
How long has the SL had a V12 engine?
Here is the picture from the SL picture thread on this forum.

Any R129 with 600 in the name is a V12 but I'm not sure they ever put the V12 badges on the rear at the factory. I think they were only stock on the front fenders???

The R129 SL first utilized the M120 V12 in the MY1993 600SL, and the motor was kept all unchanged all though the production years of the R129. Interestingly enough, the first MB to use the M120 was the W140 - I believe one year before that.
