AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL-24 (R129 generation) has approximately 127,000 km and comes with both a soft top and a hardtop. Unveiled at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the R129 is widely regarded as a landmark in the brand’s engineering, notable for introducing pioneering safety features such as a rollover bar that deploys automatically in milliseconds, and for its design by Bruno Sacco. The 24-valve (M104) engine with variable valve timing is highly prized by enthusiasts for combining flexible performance with remarkable durability and better fuel economy than the V8 engines. This example stands out for retaining most of its original paint, except for the matte-painted lower bodywork beneath the car and the repainted bumpers, which points to a history free of major accidents. The car was kept for several years in a private collection, where its maintenance was handled by an in-house mechanic, and it has recently been serviced to ensure complete reliability at classic car events. It is a 2+2, so it has rear seats with seat belts; although the rear seats are very small, they are ideal for taking children along.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
The car is very original and retains most of its factory paint. It has only a few minor imperfections consistent with use and the passage of time, while the bodywork retains a deep shine throughout. It can be enjoyed exactly as it is, as preserving its original authenticity has been prioritized over repainting.
MECHANICAL:
It currently runs very well and offers the highest level of mechanical reliability. The hydraulic cylinders for the soft top, the soft-top control unit, the heating, the air-conditioning system and the odometer have recently been repaired.
INTERIOR:
The entire cabin is in original condition, with blue leather upholstery in very good overall condition and only the expected wear for its age. Some of the wood trim is slightly lifting, which does not affect the appearance or functionality. The car comes loaded with period extras such as electric and heated seats, air conditioning, dual airbags and an SRS system, Tempomat cruise control, with almost all equipment working properly.
DOCUMENTATION:
The vehicle has a valid roadworthiness inspection (ITV). The process of registering it as a historic/classic vehicle is currently underway, which will allow it to be driven freely in any city area without environmental restrictions. Copies of the invoices and receipts for the recent repairs will also be provided.
PICKUP / DELIVERY:
The vehicle is located in Madrid, Spain. If it is awarded at auction, free storage for up to 20 days is offered.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
