1979 | Mercedes-Benz 350 SL

The 1979 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is a refined grand tourer from the iconic R107 series, blending performance with luxury. Powered by a smooth 3.5 litre V8 engine, it delivered effortless cruising and strong reliability. Its elegant design featured a long hood, chrome accents, and a removable hardtop, giving drivers both open-air freedom and year-round usability. Inside, it offered comfort with quality materials and advanced engineering for its time. Today, the 350 SL remains a sought-after classic, admired for durability, prestige, and timeless style.

Originally registered in February 1979, this V8 Mercedes-Benz has recently benefitted from an extensive recommissioning following an extended period of hibernation. Works undertaken included an overhaul of the engine and the gearbox at a cost of over £4,000, new brakes, calipers and hoses have been fitted, the rubber seals are new. The seats have been retrimmed in soft Nautic Blue Connolly leather and the carpets all replaced. The wheels have been refurbished, and the tyres and battery are new. Professional undersealing has been applied, all new front steering parts fitted, and door locks renewed. The water jet motor was replaced and the adjustable headlights overhauled. At some earlier point the floorpan, inner and outer seals were replaced. This stunning example is offered with an extensive history file, an original brochure and manual, a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until June 2026. This low mileage 350 SL has patently been looked after during the last 20 years and would make a great entry into the enjoyable world of SL ownership. Consigned by Dominic Lake
