SL-Class (R129) An R129 SL has appeared in my garage!

And to think I had the SL of my dreams all this time sitting right in my foyer. She is about 20 years old now, I've had this little SL forever. Notice the time worn details.

Fool me once, but you woun't fool me twice.

Classic Mercedes btw, still they are very expensive over here.
Some of the photo's are quite cool!

[Merc1]

Nice model you have, I have the 1/24 one in blue when I was a kid.

I think it is about time for you to update with this Autoart 1:18 SL 600.

Damn…you fooled me too!! Thought you got a new car without saying anything before it arrived…already saw the photos of a R129 Final Edition in my mind…

Great little model though, with a real classic colour…

I had the very same model as a kid, only in dark grey (BTW, did YOU choose the color?). Loved it.

I played a lot with it, did some upgrade to make it drive better (removed bits of platic from inside the front wheelarchs so that it could turn and drive)... and ultimately it lost a wheel, then another...

Definitely not as solid as the 1:1 car!

Oh no - just notice a minute ago, that the side mirror on the driver side was gone during the photoshoot.

 

[Cashmere]

needs a detail ASAP

Congrats M and many fun and safe miles with it..

Yep...you have a good eye. Would you believe the little transmission went out during the photoshoot and the car rolled off the hood of the CLK onto the floor, thus shattering the driver's side rear view mirror.

Damn! Look at the poor quality on that R129 SL! The driver's side mirror is about to fall off and the panel gaps are huge!
