"Came with special alloy wheels"

Which wasn't AMG splits. Especially replica ones.

Shame it's missing the Cengius alloys

 

[Watchcame430]

Agree, it is a shame about the wheels ... Good reason to get a chunk knocked off though.
They could be found in time?

Doodle ^ has a set,just need to find out where he stores them

I believe another member has already discovered they're NLA from Mercedes in the relevant size

They do come up from time to time, but not very often. Nothing to see here, move along.

"These are not the droids (wheels) we are looking for"

While it makes sense to have the right wheels I have always thought they didnt suit the R129 anyway.
Looked like a parts bin option to me.

No S/history since 2007? surely a few items to push the price down...

 

[Watchcame430]

Thinking about it the rust, lack of proper service history and cheap wheels doesnt bode well. Worth bringing back I guess at the right price though ..

And what is that stuck on the wing mirror?

Found this for comparison...

Or this:

MERCEDES BENZ SL320 MILLE MIGLIA - Classic and Contemporary Cars - Avantgarde Cars

And a member had a 13,500 mile one at the Tatton show at the weekend which looked factory fresh but she didn't volunteer what it cost and I didn't like to push.

A 320 is going to be worth a fair amount less than a 500 or not relevant in this case?

I would not have thought a lot in it...more on condition and history.
