Why We Love Them: The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL (opens in new tab)

It's been too long since we've published “Why We Love Them,” a series of articles paying tribute to some of BaT’s favorite vehicles from the past. Era, genre, and country of origin aren’t as important as character—that hard-to-define "something" that all the best cars seem to have. This time around, we're including input from members of the BaT community and staff as we discuss the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL roadster in all its variety.
