1971 Mercedes-Benz SL350 (R107)

Some cars just get better looking with age and the R107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely among them. Overshadowed for a long time by its graceful "Pagoda' predecessor, it's now becoming better appreciated for what it is - a beautifully built sports roadster that is totally dependable. To this day, no car door closes with a more reassuring "thunk' than a Mercedes SL, and everything about the car suggests solid engineering.

Fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, the SL has a matchless ability to munch up the miles for year after year without ever seeming to falter. No wonder it stayed in production, fundamentally unaltered, from 1971 until 1989 - the longest production run of any Mercedes car to date.

Offered here is a 1971, SL350 finished in Mercedes Red with a black interior, which was purchased by our vendor some 20 years ago. Over that time, he has spent in excess of 100,000 Danish Kr. maintaining the car and ensuring it remains in good condition. Predominantly used as a summer-time runabout over the last 5 years, our vendor has always stored the car in a garage and started it up regularly during the winter. The car appears straight and clean and with a little detailing, could be super. Now showing 205,000 on the odometer, this classic Mercedes-Benz roadster is offered at 'no reserve' making it a very attractive prospect.
