I have very some very sad news. My Mercedes is going. After years of blissful ownership of my R129 SL it has come time to part with it. Though not my first R129 and i hope not my last these SL's are becoming harder to find in tiptop condition.
You must all be wondering, why would a daft person want to sell this, i can't complain, the kids fit in the back its our second/third car and it always turns heads. To me its like a sporty sofa on wheels. Compared to other Mercedes yes it is not quite as quick but it makes me feel special.
This weekend we were in Bristol for a family event and a farewell to the SL - where it will be residign at Slades garage in Buckinghamshire to awaits its next owner.
Anyhow the aim of this post is not to promote the sale but simply to ask all you fellow enthusiast is there life after parting with the one car that you wanted to keep forever...? Everyone has that one car that they had to let go of, yes you can probably get a newer ones that is more reliable, faster or better looking but can you miss a car so much that you end up buying the same one again years later...
Thoughts appreciated....?
