1993 Mercedes-Benz SL600 AMG | London, Essex

A 1993 Mercedes-Benz SL600 AMG, from the R129 generation of the SL roadster. The model is known for its long bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and a hydraulic fabric roof that folds away beneath a tonneau. The 600 is the V12 at the top of the range, built for relaxed distance rather than sports-car agility. This car is grey with a black interior, a restrained pairing that lets the long bonnet and smooth flanks do the talking. Under that bonnet sits a 6.0-litre engine, and the car is specified as an AMG version of the SL600. With the roof down, driver and passenger sit in clear view, which suits fashion and editorial work and music videos. The sleek 1990s luxury profile reads well in period-set film and TV, and in advertising that wants understated grey. It also makes a refined arrival for a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in London and Essex.
