The Mercedes-Benz SL-class has represented the pinnacle of two-seat sports cars and grand tourers since Mercedes-Benz introduced the lineup in 1954. While the R107 generation, of which we've sold many, is iconic, what followed in the shape of the R129 took the SL to greater heights. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster belongs to that generation and comes to you with just 43,700 miles reported by the current owner. One key is also included in the sale.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting its Bruno Sacco-designed lines, the R129 changed the game and defined what we recognize as Nineties Mercedes-Benz styling. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster wears a two-tone white and gray color scheme, another Eighties/Nineties fad. It's got the original 16-inch Mercedes-Benz wheels from the period, wrapped in Michelin tires, and all badging is present and correct. Look closer, and you'll appreciate finer details, such as the dinky wipers for each headlamp to keep them clean and clear during inclement weather. If you're wondering about the Roadster bit, pictures show that this car is wearing its removable hardtop; a black soft top is also present beneath that. The gray interior seats two occupants and offers the best tech that Mercedes-Benz had in its arsenal for the period. You've got automatic climate control, powered seats with memory function, and the usual powered conveniences. The stereo has been swapped out for a more modern Kenwood head unit that supports Bluetooth phone integration and CD playback. The metal kick plates sporting Mercedes-Benz text also appear in pristine order, another sign of this car's light use over its lifetime. Behind the passenger cabin lies a trunk that can take 7.9 cubic feet of luggage.
Engine
North America saw the SL300 and SL500 offered at launch, while the monster SL600 joined the party in 1993, with the SL300 leaving as a result. This makes cars like this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster relatively rare, and they're not exactly underpowered. Mercedes-Benz gave North American market SL300s the higher-output 24-valve 3.0L V6 that sent 228hp to the rear wheels via a 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic transmission. Multi-link suspension with stabilizer bars ensures good handling, and all-wheel disc brakes with ABS are on hand to bring this 4,100lb car to a halt.
The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.
Between 1988 and 2001, the R129 series bore the torch of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class legacy. The SL is known to be Mercedes-Benz’s pinnacle luxury grand tourer, a car that you treat yourself to when you’ve made it in life and accomplished your milestones. Sporting iconic and timeless styling by Bruno Sacco, as well as the premium Mercedes-Benz experience, why not net yourself this 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Convertible with a mere 78,000 miles on its odometer? The car comes from Missouri.
The Mercedes-Benz SL has a long and illustrious history dating back to 1954. Arguably, one of the most popular variants was the R107 of 1971-1989. Riding on the coat-tails of its success, the follow-up would need to be spectacular. That's why Mercedes-Benz went all-out with the R129, sporting a fresh Bruno Sacco-penned design, more power, and upgraded technological features. Over thirty years later, cars such as this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL still turn heads. With 74,500 miles since new, this particular R129 isn't a garage queen, nor is it a high miler. Instead, it's a practical and usable collectible that's nearly attained classic status.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
