Step back in time with this stunning 1973 Mercedes-Benz SL350, a true classic from the iconic R107 model series that represents automotive elegance from a bygone era. This UK-spec beauty has been lovingly maintained within the same family since the early 2000s, and now presents a unique opportunity for an enthusiast looking to restore and cherish a piece of automotive history. With only 20-30 miles driven annually, this low-mileage classic is ready for someone passionate about bringing her back to her former glory, complete with original documentation, a parts book, and even a set of period-correct 1970s seats.

ULEZ compliant and MOT and tax exempt, this Mercedes offers both historical charm and practical urban driving potential. Recently serviced with new tyres, fresh fluids, and replaced plugs, the car starts effortlessly and comes with some minor bodywork and trim issues that present an exciting restoration project for the right collector. With original paintwork from a respray done decades ago and additional features like a rear seat assembly, this SL350 represents an authentic slice of Mercedes-Benz heritage. Recent market comparisons suggest significant potential value, with similar models selling for much higher prices, making this a potentially astute investment for the discerning classic car enthusiast.
