1971 Mercedes-Benz 350SL
A classic early R107-series roadster, finished in Silver and showing an indicated 244,521 kilometres, representing the beginning of one of Mercedes-Benz’s longest-running and most celebrated model lines.
Powered by a petrol V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, the 350SL delivers smooth, effortless performance combined with the solid road manners and refinement expected of a Mercedes-Benz grand tourer. With its two-seat configuration and timeless styling, it embodies the elegance and usability that defined the SL nameplate. It should be noted, however, that the vehicle does not always turn over when starting, indicating an intermittent starting issue that may require attention.
Mercedes-Benz 350SL (R107) Model History
Introduced in 1971, the R107 SL marked a significant evolution for Mercedes-Benz, replacing the iconic W113 “Pagoda” SL. The 350SL was among the first variants offered and helped establish the R107’s reputation for combining luxury, performance and durability in a single package. Featuring improved safety engineering, a more spacious cabin and powerful V8 options, the R107 remained in production for an extraordinary 18 years. Today, early examples like the 350SL are increasingly sought after for their purity of design and role in launching one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring model families.
