Its says Moray in the title, could possibly take it to the North West of England Blackpool Area as i visit there alot!
1996 R129 Mercedes SL280, face lift model, I’ve had this car for a little over 10 months, and really I just fancy a change. Its Taxed and MOTed and ready for some Summer Fun!
The body of this car is in excellent condition, there is the odd mark here and there, but look it the photos, it looks fantastic yet still has to be seen to be appreciated. The car is supplied with the desirable detachable hard top, not all SL's have these and they make all the difference in cold weather.
The electric roof mechanism is in perfect working order, and was serviced by my local Mercedes specialist in August of last year, with a window regulator and hood latch being replaced, with receipt to prove. The fabric hood is also in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The plastic rear window in the hood is a little cloudy, but it’s intact and if your anything like me the hood is only used in an emergency, as it is usually down, or the hard top is on.
The car is fitted with 18 Inch AMG wheels, thee really set the car off a treat, the tires are all in excellent condition, i have a report from a tire centre after I had the wheels balanced showing they all have at least 5mm of tread all the way across.
The car has done way below average miles for its year however Shortly after I got the car i noticed that it was dripping a little oil onto my drive, I took it to the Specialist and he found that it was weeping oil from the front left corner of the head gasket, rather than wait for the gasket to fail completely I had him replace it. This involved stripping the top end of the engine, having the head skimmed, and replacing all the valve stem oil seals and guides along with all new gaskets, seals and head bolts. It also had has new timing chain tensioners, auxiliary belts, exhaust manifold studs, filters and spark plugs ect, in total this work cost over a thousand pounds, but the engine is in tip top health shows perfect oil pressure and is as smooth as when it was new! The only other mchanical work I have carried out was to fit new front brake discs and pads, and new pads to the rear new steering rack damper and various other little bushes, again there are receipts for all this work.
The Mercedes has a Black leather interior with black carpets, it makes a nice change as they usually all have cream or beige! Standard equipment includes, Electric Windows and Mirrors, Electric seats and seatbelt height adjustment, electric Roll Bar, Climate Control, Cruse Control, all the equipment works as it should, the A/C is ice cold, and the Cruse control is in full working order. . It is also fitted with the Rear Seat option, so is ideal for carrying the kids! The leather seats are in excellent condition, there is a slight scuff on the drivers bolster as usual and a tear in the leather on the steering wheel, i have been quoted £70 to fix this my a local trimmer. There is also a Sony CD/MP3 Player with a AUX input in the centre for an MP3 player
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call, text or email me. I'm open to sensible offers. I will consider almost anything in Part Exchange. I am also open to swaps ideally I'm after a Honda S2000,Boxster, any TVR, Lotus Elan SE, Mercedes S Class,E55, CLK55, anything with a V8 really BMW 7 Series, E36 M3, E39 540 or M5, Jag XK, XJR, XJS, Most Alfas, Lancia, and to be Cheeky Rolls Silver Shadow or a Bentley, anything really, I can put cash towards for the Right car
