16 CommentsPosted as: ClearPOST COMMENT March 13th, 2023 at 5:42pm ESTYAFA (14) Seller 0Unfortunately we did not meet the reserve. Still we feel grateful for the attention of those who have participated. This is a wonderful, and very well kept car that should be valued way more than today's highest bid. I guess we will need to wait until someone make a better offer soon, and get to enjoy this R129 at her best. Thanking you all for the participation and wishing you all a blissful week ahead.

We do have 2 sets of keys. Top cylinders and wiring were done under previous ownership. The car is in pristine conditions everything working properly. Wishing you all a wonderful sunset and a better dawn ahead.March 7th, 2023 at 3:37pm ESTcjaubert (3) 0Nice car. A few questions: how many keys? Have the top hydraulics been changed? Original wiring harness? Thanks. March 6th, 2023 at 11:42am ESTYAFA (14) Seller 0@Cornell89 unfortunately we do not have records of that since it was performed by the previous owner. Our mechanics did take a look of them and they assure they were replaced an working perfectly now. Thanks for being part of our auction March 6th, 2023 at 11:30am ESTCornell89 (0) 0Any record of the engine's wiring harness being replaced? If not, prospective bidders should factor in ~$1k for the part (available at FCP Euro & other vendors) plus labor (or DIY time).March 5th, 2023 at 3:38pm EST$4,500 bid placed by @RDARCYMarch 4th, 2023 at 9:53pm EST$4,250 bid placed by @rolandgarciaMarch 4th, 2023 at 12:51pm ESTthembmarket (691) 1Additional photos of the car and the underbody have been added to the listing. Thank you. March 4th, 2023 at 8:14am ESTQuick01 (2) 0Nice looking car,my 98 is the same color combination,I picked it up when the transmission was out of my 600, I wasn't crazy about the color at first but it was an original owner Florida car with 50k on it,and it filled my r129 obsession at the time. After having it 7 years now I actually really like the color combo,I added the 5 spoke 17" wheels (yes I know,but I like them)and did a paint correction with ceramic coat,it looks awesome. Regarding the cluster,I have seen clusters disassembled and reglued,the vapor from certain glues can cause similar reactions to plastics,not saying this took place but just a thought. Either way it looks to be a nice car and if it is properly sorted it should make it's new owner very happy.March 4th, 2023 at 7:57am EST$3,750 bid placed by @DrDominickMarch 3rd, 2023 at 11:48pm EST$3,500 bid placed by @WdkullMarch 3rd, 2023 at 10:33pm EST$3,250 bid placed by @Goldfinch53March 3rd, 2023 at 9:48pm EST$3,000 bid placed by @WdkullMarch 3rd, 2023 at 3:23pm ESTYAFA (14) Seller 0@Jvaldora We believe that the previous owner took care of the hydraulic cylinders that move the soft top, pop the hard top and the safety top bar. All of them are working perfectly no leaks at all. We have videos of that that we can share to whoever is interested. May you all have a wonderful weekend ahead.March 3rd, 2023 at 3:20pm ESTYAFA (14) Seller 0@Jvaldora Thanks for your comment, we totally agree with you that this can be removed without a problem. We appreciate your support this is indeed a wonderful opportunity to drive a low millage example of these wonderful R129 roadsters.March 3rd, 2023 at 2:43pm ESTJvaldora (23) 0I don’t see any indication that the hydraulics that run the top have been serviced. They have a nasty habit of puking fluid from the top of the windshield usually when you’re dressed and out on the town. Any other service records that show this routine maintenance being done?March 3rd, 2023 at 2:35pm ESTJvaldora (23) 0It’s not the sun that does that to the instrument cluster. It’s the heat and humidity. You can clean them with a little effort. It shouldn’t be a deal breaker considering the low miles on this unit.
