1993 R129 SL 60 AMG
Discussion
I have one of the two Sultan of Brunei cars which I have decided to keep .We are upgrading the brakes--334/300 Silver Arrows- the suspension Bilstein B6 sports plus Eibach lowering springs- topped off with a complete kmac camber adjustment kit.
All this will be set up by Chris Franklin at Center Gravity who we have used for our Porsche RS and who we think is the Master of suspension tuning
However the seats are, in effect 18 years old , and my question is----has anyone ever upgraded their R129 SL seats-and if so what were they from ???
We have a C43 here and the seats are perfect . But trying to find secondhand C43 seats is proving difficult !!
All information gratefully received

It is totally uprated by AMG for the Sultan from a standard SL 60 AMG--it cost £154000 in December 1992
He had two made and has kept the other
This one was purchased by a well known Cheshire Dealer in 2002 with only 85 kilometres on the clock
So thats why it is dearer than a bog standard car

Sorry been away all day
Hasnt got heated seats-you are correct
Cannot see why there was such a price difference
However the colour is special Kobalt Blue Metallic
The interior is non standard with the Sultan 's insignia -in Kingfisher Blue
The body-kit is different from standard
The wheels were 8x17 10x17 very wide deep dish-actually very ugly IMHO
Engine uprated but how I have no idea
A very attractive car which draws attention everywhere it is parked-
And of course it is ferociously fast--Phil Crouch loved it !!
