Sl500

[hurn]

Hello I’ve just bought 1993 R129 SL500 and the early history is a bit lacking, looking to see if any previous owners might be on here to help with its history

If you post the registration (or registrations if there have been more than one) or the VIN you might get a response.

Alex didn’t mention it, he just said he’s retiring, maybe he’s going to cut down the days but keep business running, I’ll ask when I see him

Morning
I’ve got some history for it, but it’s had a speedo change late in the 90s and mid like to find more info about it, the more the better

Hi & welcome from another R129 owner!

As an aside, a K plate could be a 500SL rather than an SL500? No difference other than the name, which AFAIK changed for the 1994 model year (built from Autumn 1993).
