MERCEDES BENZ 350SL R107

1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL R107

The Beginning of an Icon

When Mercedes launched the R107 SL in 1971, it set a new benchmark for style, luxury, and performance in the grand touring world. Bigger, more comfortable, and more refined than the beloved “Pagoda” it replaced, the new 350SL quickly became a symbol of success and effortless glamour.

This 1972 right-hand drive example – one of the very first produced – captures that magic perfectly. Finished in period-correct gold metallic with a matching brown interior and soft top, it radiates classic ’70s sophistication. Step inside and you’ll notice details that mark it as one of the early cars, like the iconic centre-dash clock, found only on the first production run.

Under the bonnet lies the smooth 3.5L V8, paired with an automatic gearbox, offering exactly what the SL is famous for: a relaxed, powerful drive that makes every journey feel special. With just 134,200 km indicated, this well-preserved SL remains a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

An early 350SL doesn’t just represent Mercedes engineering at its finest – it represents an era of class, style, and timeless design. The kind of car that turns every drive into an occasion.
