And in case you would like to read more in detail about the Mercedes R129 from the rare 280SL to the rocket on wheels SL73 AMG, here you can buy it as hard copy and e-book. If you do not live in the US, please select it from your respective country website of amazon.
The SL R129 has started to become a collectable and good examples sell at a premium. The V8 is naturally the most popular version. A special case is the V12. To buy one that is less than perfect is a guarantee to ruin you.
