Good choice, a late R129 would be one of the last quality engineered SL's.


The 500 ones are well balanced, and easier and less costly to maintain than the V12 ones are.

Yeah, maybe, but those SL600s are a real blast to drive!

To me they are much like a bonnie, bonnie baby: Much joy to hold in your arms for awhile, but even MORE fun to GIVE back,


........and NOT fun at all to take care of on a day to day basis!
