1990 Mercedes 300SL with only 35,000 miles

This exceptional 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL (R129) is finished in striking Almandine Red Metallic over a beige leather interior and has covered just 35,000 miles from new, making it one of the lowest-mileage examples available anywhere. This early R129 is a very well-specified car featuring air conditioning, electric seats, cruise control, and a factory colour-coded hardtop. The service history is exemplary, with a comprehensive file including all past service invoices, MOT certificates, original owner’s manuals, and both factory keys. Now Irish registered, the car will be supplied with a fresh 2-year NCT, making it ready for immediate use or as an investment-grade addition to any collection. The bodywork presents superbly in its original Almandine Red, a deep metallic shade that suits the elegant R129 lines perfectly. The paint retains a rich gloss, and panel fit is excellent throughout. The matching factory hardtop is in excellent condition with clean seals and headlining. Trim, lights, and the original alloy wheels are all in great shape, underlining the car’s low mileage and careful storage history. The interior is finished in classic beige leather, which remains supple and well-preserved throughout. Minimal wear is visible and consistent with the car’s low mileage. The wood trim, carpets, and dashboard are all in excellent order. This car includes desirable options such as cruise control, electric seats, and air conditioning, all of which operate correctly. A clean, quiet and luxurious place to enjoy the road. Under the bonnet lies the smooth and reliable 3.0L inline-six, paired to a silky automatic gearbox. The engine performs flawlessly and is backed by a full service history documenting meticulous upkeep. Invoices confirm regular attention to all major mechanical systems including the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and fluids. With just 35,000 miles, this 300SL drives like a much newer car. The R129 is a benchmark of refined, modern-classic Mercedes engineering. With precise steering, a composed ride, and rock-solid build quality, the 300SL delivers a confident and enjoyable drive. This ultra-low mileage example feels especially tight and responsive, offering the full experience of one of Mercedes-Benz’s best-built models at its peak.
