Very nice car, looks like a real stormer. Can't help with the ID but try these guys www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/index.php a chap who goes by the name of Stats seems to know all there is to know about the R129.

IIRC that's right, at least for early SL60s like your example.
They were bought as 500s and then modified by AMG.

It's much the same story with the R129 SL73 being listed as SL600s smile

ETA: From what I understand, a garage like Beaulieu would certainly do their homework, so if they sold it as an SL60, it's an SL60 thumbup
