About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Headlight lenses are yellowing. Small chips on the nose, hood and A-pillars but mostly very good original paint. Very lightly worn interior. Showing 95,461 miles but not represented with any service history, which is not a good combination.

Market commentary

These R129-series SLs offer a fast, smooth, stylish and comfortable two-seater for an affordable price, at least until it comes time for a service. That this one has lots of miles and yet no documentation leads one to expect that the seller is expecting to pass off the expensive shop bills the next owner. At least the buyer here detected the omission and bought at a low price, but not as little as the buyer at Leake's Dallas auction last November did, just $4,400.
