Hello SL forum! I have been active in the vintage and diesel forums for many years but have never owned an R129. My wife is in line for a new driver and I found this SL on a competing mercedes forum. Would some of you 129 experts please pick the car over a bit for me before I dive in? The idea of an import appeals to the MB geek in me and the color combo is very pleasing but what are the pros and cons of the Euro vs US versions? I see the HVAC controls are different and the claimed factory rear seat but do not know any other differences. Also this car is said to have not been optioned with cruise, how big a nightmare is it to add that on?
The car can be seen here on
eBay.
Thanks in advance for sharing your insights. Bill
