1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL

Estimate: £3, 250-3, 750

Only five previous keepers; not used regularly for the last seven years ; will need some re-commissioning; only offered for sale due to a multiple Mercedes collecting problem

First registered in May 1972, this classic 350SL was purchased by the current owner in 2014. Our vendor is an avid collector of the Mercedes brand and couldn’t resist adding another to his fleet, although unfortunately the more cars you have, the fewer miles each one covers. This particular SL has been used very little in the last few years and was put on SORN in February this year, being left stationary in a barn collecting dust. Looking rather ‘barn-find unloved,’ covered in its own magic dust when we first saw it, 8731 VC has now had a refreshing wash and is offered for sale.

It is a worthwhile project. It last passed an MOT in 2016 and currently does need some encouragement to run, due to having been kept stationary for some time. New battery, fresh fuel and a good run needed! It will also need a brake overhaul as the fronts are sticking on through lack of use.

As is evident from the photographs, the hood ts is need of some correction. As always, corrosion is a factor with these vehicles and we have noted that in 2013, a number of corrosion issues were highlighted on an MOT. We believe these have been attended to over the past few years but would be worth checking.

Definitely a car worth coming to view - potentially a healthy investment in the right hands and a desirable transferable registration too.

Beautiful 280CE that was owned from 1981 until July 2022. It was parked since 1991 in a closed garage and has had lots of work done on it. Still needs a few small things to run absolutely perfectly, but it’s in great shape for its age. I have to sell it, unfortunately, because I don’t have the time anymore to look ...

Selling my lovely 1993 Mercedes 600SEC/CL600. This a true 30 year classic old timer. Manufactured in 12/1993, one can safely assume that this was most likely one of the last Mercedes 600SEC produced out of 307 total production for this year. It has an acquired status of a considerably rare classic piece of luxury for all ...
