THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1972 Mercedes Benz 350SL Roadster!
Finished in fire engine red over black, this R107-chassis 350SL has been driven just over 87,600 miles since new.And YES the six-digit odometer still works. Due to the year and unavailability of Carfax, I cannot 100% verify the actual miles. This beautiful early early R107 chassis Benz features a great running 3.5 liter V8 engine mated to the 3 speed automatic transmission,BOTH factory hard and soft tops, original alloy wheels with near new rubber, original Becker Europa am/fm stereo with working electric antenna, manual windows, factory original owner's manual, service book and hardtop wrench. It is being sold with clear and clean California title, current registration and..........
Offered here with a low reserve,this is a fabulous find, for about the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW SL ROADSTER!

THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1972 Mercedes is in GOOD 99.9% rust-free condition overall witha deep lustrous overall shine to the paint finish various nicks, scratches and other expected light cosmetic blemishes. The canvas soft top looks to be original and in excellent condition aesthetically and functionally. Overall this is one still quite handsome well-preserved 47 year-old classic Benz Roadster!

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this non-smoker '72 Benz is in very original condition overall with working six-digit odometer and all other gauges and controls in excellent working order.Imperfections inside the car include worn and torn driver seat, floppy sun visors and some expected light wear on the interior bits. Overall this is still one still very nice unmolested German cockpit!

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1972 SL starts easily with excellent running engine, smooth shifting transmission along with very good braking [slight rotor pulsating due to lack of recent driving] and tight and solid rattle-free suspension.The car recently received about $11,000 in in documented mechanical service by a very well-respected San Francisco bay area shop. This SL is still a vault-like stately sunny afternoon cruiser that gleans much attention from fellow motorists!
