Description
1972 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL
A Rare Early R107 • V8 Grand Tourer • Removable Hardtop
An exceptional example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring and recognisable sports cars, this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL represents the very beginning of the legendary R107 SL era.
First registered on 14 January 1972, this early SL is powered by Mercedes-Benz’s characterful 3.5-litre V8, combining effortless performance with the refined, beautifully engineered driving experience for which Mercedes-Benz was renowned.
Finished in an elegant blue, the car has the unmistakable presence of an early SL — the long bonnet, distinctive Mercedes grille, chrome detailing and beautifully proportioned roadster body creating a silhouette that remains timeless more than five decades later.
The removable hardtop provides the car with an entirely different character, transforming the open two-seater into a sophisticated grand tourer for longer journeys and cooler months. With the roof removed, it becomes the quintessential 1970s Mercedes roadster.
A significant early R107
Early 350 SLs are particularly appealing to collectors because they belong to the formative years of the R107’s production. The combination of the early 3.5-litre V8, elegant chrome-trimmed styling and classic Mercedes-Benz engineering makes these cars increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts of the marque.
This example is now registered as a Historic Vehicle, reflecting its status as a genuine 1970s classic.
