This a USA delivered early 107 Mercedes badged 350SL from new. The early cars designated for USA had the 4.5L V-8 motor. In a captivating color scheme, Grey-Blue over Black MB Tex, it shows excellent paint quality and shine. Repainted in the original color about 10 years ago, it was a very nicely executed job. Documentation with stamps in the MB service booklet and ancillary service records corroborating mileage.
The interior shows excellent time capsule condition. Dashboard is original and shows perfect without flaws. An early instrument cluster panel is clean showing high contrast between orange needles and speedo/rpm gauges. All switches are easily designated, unworn and work properly. MB Tex seats show no signs of wear, tearing, cracking or fading. Both door cards look new. The carpet is loop style in excellent condition and does not show fading or damage.
According to the previous owner a new black soft top replacement was installed 2 years ago. The hard top is in excellent condition with a near perfect headliner and all original glass and seals in top shape.
The motor fires up immediately without hesitation. Driving is effortless with tight steering, responsive acceleration, immediate torque and tight supple suspension feel. It drives as you would expect a 50,000 mile SL to perform. A superb example with very low documented miles that’s been well preserved.
Approximately 9,000 miles ago the muffler was replaced along with a new steering damper and 2 new rear shocks were installed.
Original Becker radio works properly.
14 inch non chrome bundt style wheels in excellent condition. Nice tires show good tread.
Original early 107 slim fit bumpers.
All original books, manuals, convertible tools, spare tire, jack, original key and service history accompany the vehicle.
