1997 Mercedes-Benz SL 280 r129 the great entry-level roadster

Visually and technically refreshed SL models were showcased at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 1995. The facelifted variants featured modified body styling, more comprehensive standard equipment, and optimized engineering. The body styling had only been changed slightly but redesigned front and rear bumpers, colorless glass covers on the front indicators, and subtle changes to the radiator grille, now with only six slats, made the SL look even more dynamic. The side skirts and bumpers that were previously a contrasting color were now body-colored and were fitted with the modified vents that were a distinctive feature of the facelifted models. Further new features were the bichromatic tail lights that appeared a uniform red and new, twelve-hole, alloy wheels that were fitted to all SL models as standard. A glass roof with sun-blind could also be fitted as an option instead of the usual aluminum hardtop. Inside, the door paneling, steering wheel, and seat design had been modified. The new automatic gearbox with electronic control also became available for the six-cylinder SL 280 and SL 320 models from June 1996 – as an optional extra on the 2.8-liter version but as standard on the SL 320. From December 1996, six-cylinder SL models with this gearbox could also be fitted with the ESP driving dynamics system. At the same time a new innovation had its world premiere as an additional active safety feature – Brake Assist, which was fitted as standard in all 129 and 140 models from December 1996. #r129 #sl280 #roadster #oldbenz source: Next Classics
