No Reserve

Reg No: VOV 338S MOT: Exempt Chassis No: 10704322013088

The third generation SL was launched in 1971, initially with a 3.5-litre V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission as offered here. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round. The 350SL was available from 1971 to 1980. It produced some 200bhp at 5800rpm and 211lbft of torque at 4000rpm. This was sufficient to endow the model with swift, effortless acceleration and a top speed of a whisker over 130 mph.

This right-hand drive Mercedes-Benz 350SL was first registered on the 22nd of September 1977. Finished in Signal Red with a Black halfleather and Black & White chequered cloth interior trim, this 350SL comes equipped with an automatic transmission, electric windows, and rear seats. The factory hardtop in matching Red is also still with the car and a new convertible hood was fitted in 2021. In December 2013 the speedometer was changed for a new one, with the old one reading 106,980 miles (photographic evidence present). At the time of consignment, the new speedometer showed 5,586 miles. This Mercedes is offered with a history file containing invoices for work carried out in the last 10 years, a current V5C, an original owner’s handbook and two sets of keys.
