It's hard to believe, but the W129-series Mercedes-Benz SL was launched over 20 years ago. However, its timeless styling has kept it fresh and attractive in the eyes of a new generation of enthusiasts, as well as those returning to the car having owned one when they were still in the dealerships. A combination of superb original design and peerless engineering and build quality adds to the desirability of this series of classic German machines, and has ensured that many of these cars can still be seen in regular use today. Covering the SL's ever-changing specification, and its presence in many of the world's major markets is a huge task, but it's all presented here in definitive detail, along with stunning contemporary photography, in a volume that will readily grace any reference library shelf or connoisseur's coffee table. Two earlier books, also published by Veloce, and covering the W113 cars and the 107-series SL and SLC, act as perfect companions to this title, which takes the SL story up to 1989.

*****Essential reference if you are an SL enthusiast
By Malcolm Gay on 30th Nov -0001 of: Mercedes-Benz SL: R129-series 1989 to 2001
Well presented, written photographed and detailed so you can see the evolution of the SL and this models creation.
Had a R129 500SL for sixteen years and did nearly 160,000 klm in it.
Appreciated the way Brian talked thru the development and I got to see factory pictures I had never seen before.
Why do I think this series of books by Brian Long is so good, because I have bought others when these were out of print (thankfully in print now) and some of them look like long essays with photo's
Final opinion from me.
If this book was lost, I would buy another one😉
