1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600 | London

A 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600, the V12 flagship of the R129 SL range. The R129 is known as a relaxed grand tourer, with a long bonnet, a steeply raked windscreen and a folding fabric roof. Its solid build suits long, unhurried drives. This car is finished in Brilliant Silver with a blue leather interior, a cool pairing that sits well against brick and glass. The 6.0-litre V12 delivers its power quietly and smoothly. Condition is very good, and with the roof folded the cabin is in clear view. Its restrained 1990s luxury look suits advertising and film and TV work that needs a car signalling success. Silver against blue leather photographs cleanly for fashion and editorial shoots, and the open top gives music videos and events a clear view of the people inside. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. It is based in London.
