When i sold my R129 SL320 in early 2018 it took a while before the trader I part exchanged it to sold it, the only thing I can think of was the mileage at 117k put people off. But as I've foolishly done in the past I had done anything that needed doing during my ownership from new front wings right through to the smaller things like the aerial to the best of my knowledge it wanted for nothing.

So I'm just curious as to whether it went to another forum member or even an owner who's joined the forum since and if so how they're getting on with it?:)

I often wonder what happens to my old cars too, though I would think most of mine end up on the scrapheap :(

No it's not a question of wanting it back mainly just curious if the new owner was on here how they are getting on with the car.
As you say I did put a lot of time and even more money into it so I was just hoping someone was getting some enjoyment out of it.:)
