Description

This beautiful 350SL is delivered new on 16th June, 1971 as a dealer model at Mercedes-Benz A.-G in Bern (CH) in the rare colour 571H!!. Until the end of the 1990s this R107 350 SL drove in Switzerland, then with its owner it moved to the US and ended up in his private collection hardly to be ridden anymore. The middle of this year it was shipped back to Europe.Is original from 1971, so one of the first SL R107 ' Panzerwagen '!This Euro SL has a low demonstrable mileage of 121,000 km (stamped booklets present). The overall condition is truly beautiful. The original leather is in very nice condition with a great patina. Not torn or dried out, just original and authentic. Gorgeous!Also the soft top is in very good condition, the original factory colour is rare and fits this SL extraordinarily, especially in combination with the tan-coloured interior. Also the engine compartment is very good, unrestored and in almost mint condition. Rust is nowhere to be seen. This SL for a large part of its life was in property of a real "collector", an original EURO SL in a rare colour with booklets and a low mileage. A more interesting investment potential is actually almost impossible to find.Engine runs good and automatic transmission works properly. By prolonged stoppage the brakes were stuck. At the front these were made running again and at the back new brake calipers were mounted.Wartungsheft, serviceheft, Betriebsanleitung notice d'Entretien, actually new spare tyre, jack, it's all there. Import duties, VAT has already been paid.This vehicle can be viewed and picked up in Schaijk, the Netherlands. We can assist in arranging transport throughout Europe (and beyond) at very competitive rates. Even though this is a great classic car, it is not a new car and therefore we cannot provide any guarantee. Will be sold "as is".
