Description
Classic eye catching investment - 1972 Yellow Mercedes 350 SL with black leather interior.It has classic car status and is exempt from MOT and road tax however, a number of MOT Documents are available to support the 84,817 miles. Last MOT was in 2018.The car has a wind deflector and the original Hard top (but no hoist), both in very good condition.This 3.5 litre V8 has been stored in a dry garage and overall the bodywork and chrome is in good/very good condition. The exhaust system is stainless steel.The inner door panels and underside have been regularly wax oiled up to the point the owner stopped driving the car.The instruments/electrics and cooling system are in working order with the exception of the windscreen washer function. The vehicle has a 3 or 4 speed (sorry not sure) automatic gear box.It has power assisted steering but please note there is no cruise control.A recent running problem has been rectified at the expense of a new genuine Mercedes fuel pump and filter, a refurbished alternator and new voltage regulator and the car is running well. That said it would benefit from a thorough service.The body work in very good condition (in our view) but please note the minor repair to the soft top and minor blistering around the badge on the boot. (see photos). Happy to support a video review if you are interested. There is a partial service history.The car is owned by a gentleman in his 90's and has been turned over regularly but only done 30 miles in the last 9 years, so he has reluctantly decided the car must be sold for a reasonable offer. Vehicle registered: 07/08/1972. Next MOT due 15/11/2024, Part service history, Yellow, 5+ owners, £10,900
