Model history

The Final Edition of the Mercedes-Benz SL 280 was introduced in 2000 as the last evolutionary stage of the R129 series. It combines classic SL virtues such as comfort, long-distance capability, and understated sportiness with exclusive equipment details and a limited special edition. The R129 is still known today for its solid workmanship and technical maturity—one of the last Mercedes generations to be designed uncompromisingly for longevity.
