The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1977 Mercedes SL350
The subject of a bare- metal restoration four years ago, and comes with matching silver hard top
Registration - RDL 40R
Chassis No. - 10704322012577
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 127,429
With a desirable 3.5-litre V8, this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL has benefitted from an extensive restoration just four years ago. The vendor says it was stripped back to bare metal and restored, with a full set of invoices to detail the work done. This forms part of the partial service history, which also supports the odometer reading of 127,429 miles. Finished in silver with a smart blue leather interior, the condition is described as ‘good’ throughout and the car comes with two keys, tool kit and spare wheel. It is a soft top, but also comes with a matching silver hard top. The car has subtle enhancements elsewhere too, including crips and bright LED interior lighting that helps further enhance the classic design.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Series was first introduced back in 1954. SL stands for ‘Sport Leicht’, or sport light, and first appeared as a racing car in the early 1950s before it was decided to produce a road-going version too. Always a highly-specialist model that serves as the firm’s range-topping roadster, the Mercedes-Benz SL developed through multiple generations and this classic R107 series was introduced in 1971, running right through to 1989. It introduced a new design language along with cutting-edge safety features that showed Mercedes-Benz’ expertise in keeping its customers safe. One of the longest-running Mercedes-Benz derivatives and a genuine TV icon of the 1980s, the R107 SL today is a very desirable classic Mercedes-Benz.
In summary:
- 5-litre V8 Mercedes-Benz SL
- Bare metal restoration four years ago
- Good condition throughout
