R129 Specifications

R129 1994 300SL 24v Specifications

Quick couple of questions for you:

1994 300SL 24v....did the SL at this stage come with the rear seats, or was it an option. 2nd, was air-con an option...I presume it was and lastly, was the 5 speed autobox an option as per W124's and the 4 speed standard?

Oh....just thought of another....were electric seats an option?

Many thanks

Vlad.

well, I don't know definitively so didn't reply yesterday, but seeing as you are still hanging......

rear seats - option
aircon - not sure if there was standard manual aircon and optional climate control, but almost certainly standard aircon of some type
gearbox - I believe on a '94 car it would have been 4-speed only. The 5 speed came in on 129s a little bit later on.
elec seats - not sure. All the SLs I've had had elec seats but they were all '96 or '97 cars. If I was betting I would say standard, but can't gtee it.

Someone like Stats007 will have all the answers for you I'm sure!!

5 speed was standard on the 280 and £747 on the 320

That doesn't sound right ... an extra charge for it on the larger engine only?

In fact I didn't think the 5 speed box was standard on any R129 until the 96 facelift?

Sorry I have the price list here in front of me and I read that bit twice, the 5 speed was standard on the 280 and extra on the 320 it was not an option for the 500 or 600 and not fitted

And the car new cost £59,160 inc VAT

The 5 speed was an option on the 24v 124s

I've seen a 1992 300-24 SL with a 5-speed auto so suspect it was a 91/92-on option like on the W124

Vlad,
My 1991 car car had all of the above options including the 5 speed auto. They were all paid for extras.

Nice ME article on the Hammer by the way.......

Just to stir things a little, reading the price list in the little room ( the only place that I can read) on pagew 21 of this 10-94 price list it says

SL320( in addition to the 280 specifications) Automatic 5 speed gearbox Cruise control headlamp wash-wipe


I read it for the 3rd time where it says SL280 5 speed standard SL320 £747


I page contradicts the other.

Any want a special price list for the S Class and SL class

maybe BTB you are correct, its a kind of thrown it all open again

Are we talking auto or manual? The '94MY SL320 also came with different options to the 300SL-24.

I have never seen the SL offered with a manual gear box on any price list and I have a few.

One could order a special from the factory is my understanding

The six cylinder early cars were all available as manuals.
