Overview

Showing just 4,370 miles, this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 600SL presents an exceptionally low-mileage example of the flagship specification of Mercedes-Benz’s celebrated R129 roadster. Finished in red over a tan interior, it combines restrained early-1990s styling with the effortless performance of a naturally aspirated V12. Introduced for the 1993 model year in the United States, the 600 SL sat atop an already formidable SL range, pairing Mercedes-Benz’s sophisticated roadster chassis with its 6.0-liter M120 V12. The seller describes this example as retaining its original paint and interior while remaining entirely stock, making its remarkably limited mileage and preserved presentation central to its appeal.

Power comes from the 6.0-liter DOHC M120 V12, factory rated at approximately 389 horsepower and paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The R129 was among the most technologically advanced open automobiles of its era, featuring a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension, automatically deploying rollover protection, power-operated soft top, and removable hardtop. According to the seller, this 600 SL has no known modifications, accident repairs, paintwork, or bodywork, while its heating, air conditioning, interior equipment, and mechanical systems are reported to function as designed.

Further supporting its low-mileage preservation, this 600 SL received its most recent service from Malibu Motors, an independent Mercedes-Benz specialist in Santa Monica, California, at 4,368 miles in July 2026 including servicing and replacing components of the convertible top hydraulics. The seller reports that its CARFAX history reflects servicing by Mercedes-Benz dealers or specialists since new, including a previous replacement of the wiring harness, and the car is described as turn-key ready with new tires fitted during the previous ownership. Offered with two key fobs, owner’s manuals, maintenance booklets, radio code, car cover, first-aid kit, and original factory tools in their pouch, this 4,400-mile 600 SL offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a remarkably preserved example of Mercedes-Benz’s V12-powered R129 flagship.
