I remember the first time I saw a R129, it was love a t first sight. Of course I had been seeing photos of it in car magazines for months before I finally saw it.

I still think it is Sacco's most fully realized design -- by this I mean I think the R129 embodies the Sacco design principles and style more clearly and thoroughly than any other car. It was the pinnacle of his career at Mercedes as far as I am concerned, his most perfect and pure design.
