Built during the final years of R129 production, the Mercedes-Benz SL600 represented the pinnacle of the marque’s open grand-touring lineup. As the range-topping model, it was powered by the formidable M120 V-12, whose architecture later formed the basis of the AMG-built engines used in the Pagani Zonda. Producing nearly 390 hp, the SL600 offered effortless performance that set it apart among luxury convertibles of its era.

This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL600 is a spectacular, time capsule example, displaying approximately 1,100 miles at the time of cataloguing. Notably, it is reported to have been retained by Mercedes-Benz for approximately 20 years prior to its first registration – an unusual custodial history that explains its exceptional preservation. Finished in Black (040) over a matching black Nappa leather interior, the car is equipped with a factory-removable hardtop and a power soft top in black. The consignor notes replacement of the soft-top hydraulic cylinders and the application of clear paint-protection film. Additional features include xenon headlights, fog lights, and 18" five-spoke AMG wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Offered without reserve, with its owner’s manual and a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this SL600 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a near-time capsule example of Mercedes-Benz’s first naturally aspirated V-12 SL model.
