Description

The 1979 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL is a classic two-seat roadster combining elegant styling with refined German engineering. It features a smooth V8 engine, comfortable interior and distinctive removable hardtop. Known for its quality construction and timeless design, the 350 SL offers a relaxed driving experience with plenty of character. Its classic proportions, chrome detailing, and Mercedes-Benz heritage make it an appealing choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This highly presentable example of the much-loved R107 SL is finished in the iconic combination of Signal Red with a contrasting Parchment interior. This 1979 350 SL comes with both its factory hardtop and black soft-top, making it an ideal usable classic for summer motoring. Powered by Mercedes-Benz's smooth 3.5 litre M116 V8 producing 205bhp, the car offers an excellent blend of performance, comfort and traditional Mercedes engineering. The exterior presents well in desirable Signal Red, retaining its classic chrome bumpers, grille, side trim and original 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels. The black mohair soft-top and body-coloured removable hardtop complement the car perfectly. Inside, the Parchment MB-Tex interior remains smart and suitably period correct, with pleated seats, matching door cards, Zebrano wood trim and the original instrumentation. The cabin is clean, comfortable and well suited to long-distance touring. With its elegant styling, dependable V8, automatic transmission and both roof options, this 350 SL represents a particularly appealing example of an increasingly collectible early R107. Ideal for shows, classic tours or simply enjoying open-air motoring. Consigned by Dominic Lake
