This Mercedes-Benz convertible only had a production run of 4,778 units in 1972, the second year of production. In 1970, the Mercedes W107 was introduced as successor to the Mercedes Pagoda (W113). The production started in April 1971 and the only available models were the 350SL (BM 107.043) and 350SLC (BM 107.023) with a 3.5L V8 (M116), electronic fuel injection (Bosch D-jetronic) and a manual 4-speed or an optional 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine produced 227 HP.

Only 15,304 units were produced of the Mercedes 350SL, making this car a true collectible.

This Mercedes is still in a very original condition. The interior is still in a relatively neat but used (and original) condition, especially for a 48-year-old car. The car has Euro bumpers (original), Euro headlights (original) and matching lacquered hubcaps (also original). The engine bay also looks neat (and is, once again, original). The car was given a new lacquer layer in October of this year, in the Netherlands.

These Mercedes convertibles are starting to follow the prices of the Pagoda, especially the rare 350SL with Euro bumpers and Euro headlights... so don’t wait too long!
