In the 90's when you bought the top of the line Mercedes it would have a naturally aspirated V12 under the hood! Today we experience the SL 600 which was Mercedes top dog roadster!
Thanks to LW Automotive for letting me film their car! It is currently for sale:

I still remember when I saw Princess Diana driving past my late father's restaurant back in the early 90s in a maroon SL.

Effspot Gordon’s maniacal laugh over the $12,000 exhaust will never get old. 😂

@spoony00se Ай бұрын

Now you need to find a SL73... just a little more ultimate me thinks. 😊

The M120 engine was a masterpiece. Renntech have made an SL74 and SL76 with the M120. The latter iteration with 575hp. That was monstrous back then but it set you back $200k with all the upgrades in the engine, brakes and suspension.

@linhunnicutt6556 Ай бұрын

What a beautiful car. You are right, they do not make Mercedes cars like that anymore and that's a shame.

This is my definitive favorite SL generation! Currently have an active search for SL600s here in Sweden to see if anything interesting poppes up! 😊

R129's are renowned for their build quality and craftsmanship. All R129 V12's came with Mercedes ADS hydraulic suspension. On vehicles equipped with an Adaptive Damping System the driver can select the suspension ride quality at the push of a button. Mercedes with ADS has a button on the center console that allows them to select the stiffness of the suspension. Typically, you have three settings.

As a young boy my dreamcar was the Opel Senator. Later on the Audi 80 was the most beautyful car like the Mercedes in early 90’ts. And now I know…. Cars looking better until now 😀

@chazmuska Ай бұрын

Absolutely beautiful, a timeless classic work of art! I bet that V12 with a tune and full exaust upgrade could push out another 100 HP NA!

I remember Ludacris having on of these in his "Roll Out" video

For me personaly, this is, the best looking car that i have ever seen. For my taste, these SL's are magic. I would put some Lorinser wheels and just take a ride.

This is a cool car today as it was cool in 1999. Thank you for showing this beautiful thing. I hope the new owner admire thi vehicle, not just the investment. Thank you, I had a good time watching this video.

Used to work as a mechanic at Mercedes back in the day, and oh boy, that generation, the R129 was top notch build quality! The metal wasn't that thin piece of sh** like it is on modern cars, the paint quality was great, the Interior ... you could feel it was made with the goal to be durable, the engine, well, 200.000km were nothing to those power trains! Too bad Mercedes did go downhill with their quality! I would chose an R129, W140 or W124 over EVERY modern Mercedes!

Great car! The S and W on the transmission means, S - Summer,(starts in 1st gear), and W - Winter,(starts in 2nd gear).

@tonyboswell5414 Ай бұрын

“That switch is the “anti tow away” alarm, it’s not sport mode it’s a summer and winter switch “W” prevents wheel spin in winter conditions

@nelsonlopes3500 15 күн бұрын

Yes , basically allows the car to pull off in second gear instead of first. Also the reverse gear has a second reverse gear which is also utilized in winter mode only!!

Lmao the hood part 0:40 I just did that today looking at a gt63 while my CLS is getting serviced 😂

@mikeyaudio167 Ай бұрын

that button is for the alarm system to switch it off. with the rollbar down is much nicer btw if you do the top down it wil sence if the bar is up and or the top will clear it mercedes have toucht about that. a w140 s class olso a icon.

Second button is to DE-activate the anti-tow alarm... for when you genuinely need to have it towed.

@John_spartan Ай бұрын

God damm Mike 💪🏼🙏🏼 buy it .. they will raise in value soon a lot more than 38 K 😉 .. it’s really a cool and nice car 👍🏼 the only thing that is bothering me is the wood trim they mostly had back then , this is typical German thing with wood , also their furniture is big and heavy wood .. at least it was back then . And so cool it comes with a hardtop so you can drive it in the winter as well 👌🏻But buy it , if not this then another one .. you’re right about the generations .

@TaffPlays Ай бұрын

You need to get one of these and put that exhaust that effspot had on it! That'll be one to keep forever! I've always been a fan of the R230 myself, and I don't mind the look of the new AMG SL that came out recently (actually prefer that to the new AMG GT), but this era of Mercedes (particularly the W140 S600) has seriously won me over simply because of that N/A V12 sound!

That V-12 was designed for smoothness not really 0-60 and most people that bought them prefer the silky-smooth ride and power delivery over a tire smoking 700 hp, a beautiful day for a relaxing drive suits that car perfectly. Yeah but a Volvo or ANY new fast car are twin turbo and look at Toyota and their Tundra disaster, HP means nothing if it costs 75 grand and its broken beyond repair with 5000 miles.

Who really cares about some acceleration numbers anymore? An electric Kia can beat a 90's Lambo in the 0-60 mph sprint. Completely meaningless. It's the FEEL that you get from these old cars without cheap and laughable huge screens and electric motors that break and cost 20K when they do. And these cars look SO much nicer than most of the new cars and the old Mercedes quality was just outstanding.
