I'm looking for info on an unusual SL I saw in Ipswich today, for no other reason other than curiosity.

I was at a red light and a Black SL joined traffic, something caught my eye about it and that it just looked 'different' for some reason, it was an R230 SL but had a soft top! I got closer and it looked a tiny bit under-wheeled, like they needed a better offset and as I said it just looked different but I didn't have long enough to have a proper look, I guess I only saw it for about 4 seconds...

Could it have been an R129 but with an R230 kit? Is that even possible?

Yes, it is possible.

There was a green one for sale on here around 18-24 months ago

Thanks for the answer. At least I'm not going entirely mad!
