The Mercedes-Benz R129 series was produced from 1989 until 2001. The R129 replaced the R107 in 1989.

This Mercedes is in a neat and original condition (interior, engine and transmission are all original). The vehicle starts immediately, shifts smoothly and powerfully through all gears, idles nicely at 900 rpm and brakes properly. It’s really noticeable that the car has been technically well maintained. The tyres and brakes have recently been renewed.

This Mercedes has the original Mercedes alloy wheels, a soft-top that is as good as new (recently renewed) and the original leather interior. The paintwork of the car is good but does have a few traces of wear (see pictures).

This Mercedes is particularly interesting for business drivers. The price on Catawiki actually includes 21% VAT. And the VAT is tax-deductible for business drivers.

These Mercedes R129 convertibles are starting to increase in value. So don't wait too long and seize this opportunity to become the owner of this wonderful modern classic.
