That SL55 is stunning. The last of the R129's.

A friend of mine owned the SL60, SL70 and SL55. I'm not sure if he sold them all but they were all Japan imports.
The SL72 was the rarest of them all with twenty something units ever made. The SL73 is the King.

The car is legit. SL600 6.0 V12, 440 HP. Anyone interested?

I can see the AMG intake box extensions from here, as well as the regular front brake calipers.

I wonder what the silver box just to the right of the radiator is for?

Incredible find!

Looks like a misplaced Xenon control unit.

@onewhippedpuppy Are you still looking and if so are you following the auctions on Bring a Trailer? There are three R129s on auction that match what you listed as your requirements.
