1999 Mercedes-Benz 320SL | Oxford, Oxfordshire

The Mercedes-Benz SL of the 1990s, known as the R129, is a long-bonneted luxury roadster liked for relaxed, comfortable touring. Its hydraulic fabric roof folds away beneath a tonneau panel, and a concealed rollover bar is built in. The 320SL is the 3.2-litre version. This car is finished in silver with a grey interior, a calm, understated pairing for the smooth, steeply raked lines of the body. With the roof down, the low open profile gives a camera a clean side view and a clear look at the cabin. A 1999 build places it among the later cars of the R129 run. Advertising, fashion and editorial shoots and music videos suit its polished silver finish and 1990s luxury look. Film, TV and photography work gets a period-correct folding-roof shape, with the roof up or down. It also makes a smart arrival at an event, and it suits weddings and personal hires. The car is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
