The R129-generation Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is not a rare car, but it already falls into the category of youngtimers. And what was the surprise of the authors of the YouTube channel The Bearder Explorer when they found a perfectly preserved copy of the two-door, which had stood motionless in the garage for the last decade. To put it in order, you need only a little time and effort.
The Bearder Explorer find is one of the initial versions of the model. The 300SL index means that under the hood is a 3.0-liter inline-six that develops 190 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque and is paired with a four-speed automatic. The car was covered with towels – obviously, so that dust would not get into the interior – therefore, most likely, the car was not forgotten, but might have been left in the shed intentionally.
