Another 'barn find' R129

Well sort of, been standing for 10 years

1995 MERCEDES SL500 R129 AMG Spec (SL300/R107/W202/W211/W169/E CLASS/C CLASS) | eBay

Missing covers, missing or mismatched body plastics, not much there that looks AMG except for the airbox.

Given that it's been sat 10 years, that's close to being better off broken for parts.

The interior makes me think it could be a Mille Miglia edition with some facelift side mouldings and skirts.

Interesting to see the AMG airbox cover - could it be an SL60?!

Could ask for the VIN I suppose...does shout out Japanese import but not sure given how long it's been sitting around...

It seems to have the wrong later AMG side skirts, can't see much else AMG on it.

'Barn find' much over used phrase

Putting it mildy.

As for the SL, it's all the hallmarks of a being a parts car. If it was worth doing, it would have been repaired by the seller is my gut feeling.

Interesting that the number of previous owners is given (6), when the car has no logbook or history.

It really irritates me when people list things on eBay with long list of items in the description which have no relevance to the listing itself "SL300/R107/W202/W211/W169/E CLASS/C CLASS"

He asked me to advertise it for him after i told him i didnt want it

Dunno..........somethings not right.

The way the advertisements worded stinks.

Don't take offence but its a typical was working and now isn't one.

Better off declaring not working spares or repairs, the way it is now sounds dodgy, but then again that's the way I look at all e-bay ads, my bad

So what was it about the car that caused you to back out of the deal?
