Everything Broken on this "Perfect" Mercedes-Benz SL R129
We have restored this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300Sl-24 (R129) very extensively, but there are still things that are broken on this seemingly "perfect" SL R129. What can we say? Daily drivers can never be in perfect condition, and this goes to show that a classic car will ALWAYS be a work-in-progress.

Very nice shape for being a care that’s “broken”. I wish every car salesman could be this honest. Beautiful car!

Who cares. The fact it still is looking as good as it does and can be driven and enjoyed is all that really matters. If you fix an issue or two during ownership great, if not still ok. I drive mine 7 or 8 months out of the year and it's not perfect but I always get a thumbs up from people on my car. I am sure this one does as well. As you stated "Daily drivers can never be in perfect condition". Thanks for sharing.

@@HLClassics Cats usually dislike water. Perhaps you should install a sprinkler On the roof? *Edit:* Just went on Google and it turns out you can buy cat and bird repellent sprinklers, with motion sensors. Or at least you can in the UK.

i guess your outside temperatur sensor is also not working properly. or are the 45 degrees correct?
@HLClassics
@HLClassics 2 года назад
The outside temperature sensor is working correctly. The ambient temperature outside is about 33-35 degrees Celsius, and the temperature sensor would read more than 40 degrees Celsius when the car is restarted from warm.

@@HLClassics whomever it was sounded EXACTLY like my good friend/family Ondra. So much so that I was about to call him in Prague and ask! But his son and I always talk about cars, I'm always sending him pictures when I do a modification or upgrade on my AMG, and he sends me pictures of cool cars he sees around Prague and Europe when they travel. If Ondra was involved in a car RU-vid channel, he would have told me. Or julian would have told me. So I deduced that it was not Ondra. But the voice was similar enough for me to ponder briefly. He's the only Czech I speak to regularly, so I don't know if that's what Czechs sound like. It's what the only Czech I know well does.
