After 17 years of standstill, we at Mechatronik brought an automotive treasure back to life with meticulous attention to detail and expert precision: the Mercedes-Benz SL 73 AMG. This rare example of the R 129 model series combines the outstanding engineering skills of Mercedes-Benz with the concentrated power and style of AMG.

Originally delivered as the Mercedes-Benz SL 600, this special vehicle underwent a comprehensive transformation in the hands of the AMG experts. The result: a "wolf in sheep's clothing" whose brute power of 525 hp is discreetly concealed by the elegant bodywork. Connoisseurs will recognize the potential of this gem from subtle references such as the model designation on the trunk lid and the striking exhaust system.

The first owner already demonstrated a hand for exclusive automobiles and configured his SL 73 AMG to the highest standards: the exterior in eye-catching amber red metallic harmonizes perfectly with the two-tone interior in black and red leather, which is enhanced by red carbon fibre trim strips. However, the second owner, who bought the car at auction, never had it registered, leaving the SL 73 AMG in remarkably original condition.

Once it arrived at Mechatronik, the careful revitalization of the SL 73 AMG began. With meticulous attention to detail, our specialists began by thoroughly cleaning the car to remove almost two decades' worth of dust. This was followed by a comprehensive inspection of the drivetrain and all technical components. Using the latest endoscope technology, the engine was examined for any damage, while the fuel system was professionally flushed and overhauled.

The crowning glory of the revitalization was an expert interior and paintwork refurbishment, which allowed the SL 73 AMG to shine in its original splendour. The immaculate presentation of this automotive treasure underlines the comprehensive expertise of our company.

Our Mercedes-Benz SL 73 AMG is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and best-preserved examples of this rare model. This history not only bears witness to an exceptional vehicle, but also to the expertise within the company. With this expertise and passion, we would like to help you experience your automotive dreams. Even if you want to part with a classic AMG or a special gem from your collection, we will be happy to help you.
