"We have not test-driven the car, as it only ran on starter fluid at the time of photography, but it has since received a startup service. According to the seller, the engine runs smoothly without any unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts well. There are cosmetic imperfections both inside and out that should be addressed. A roadworthiness inspection is also required."

Description

The car arrived in Sweden in 1989 and was purchased at that time by the current owner’s father. He drove it in Sweden until about 10 years ago, when he brought it to his summer home in Croatia, where it was used until his passing.

The current owner inherited the car and had it transported back to Sweden from Croatia, followed by a startup service. The car is in need of cosmetic restoration and a technical inspection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Not test-driven by BWA, as the engine was only running on starter fluid during the initial test. It has since received a startup service and, according to the seller, is now mechanically running excellently.

  • Interior condition:

    Worn interior that partly requires reupholstery and a thorough detailing to reach a truly nice condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Paint shows touch-ups and imperfections, with a basic repair visible on the left front fender. Small rust bubbles are present on the lower parts of the doors and fenders. Otherwise, the car has avoided any serious rust issues. The soft top is intact and in good condition—appears wet in the photos. Original wheels have minor blemishes, and the condition of the tires is unknown. A 450 badge has been added later.

  • General condition:

    A delightful convertible for summer drives—after some work, it could become a truly fine enthusiast car. Get it inspected and enjoy it as-is this summer, then restore it over the winter.

Facts about the model

The model marked a significant step forward for Mercedes when it was introduced in April 1971. The new SL was designed with upcoming U.S. safety regulations in mind and styled under the direction of Karl Wilfert, Mercedes’ head of design. The newcomer, the 350 SL, was similar in size but nearly 400 kg heavier than the 230 SL it replaced. Part of the added weight came from the V8 engine, but much of it was due to the reinforced body structure. The windshield frame was exceptionally strong to eliminate the need for a roll bar.
