"A charming car with both a soft top and hardtop, in good usable condition. This is the US version and features chrome wheel cap and wing trims that shine extra bright."

Description

The car was sold new in the USA and arrived in Sweden in 1990. It has had four owners here. In the spring of 1998, an extensive overhaul of the engine and other details was carried out at Philipsson's in Jönköping at 137,800 km. The current owner bought the car in March 2011 at 162,170 km and today the odometer reads 167,000 km.

The current owner has thus used the car sparingly but serviced it regularly. The car has also received a newer master brake cylinder, new brake calipers and brake pads in front in 2019. The car was inspected without remarks on November 8, 2022.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car is ready to drive, inspected and serviced last autumn. It starts easily and has a smooth and nice running engine . A longer test drive was not conducted as the weather and road conditions were not the best. With that being said, the car felt robust and functional during the shorter drive. The enginebay is in good condition.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior in crème-beige with wood details, some after-market. Wooden steering wheel, original included. Original leather, fabric, and wood with some wear and patina. Seats have been reupholstered. Sun visors slightly swollen. Headliner in good condition. All equipment appears to work. Newer stereo with functioning electric antenna. Subwoofer speaker.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has undergone a complete or partial repaint and it looks good overall but shows signs of wear and tear. There are small scratches and stone chips on the car, as well as blisters on the left front wing where the trim meets the driver's door and on the left rear wing where it meets the rear boot at the angle near the rear window. There is also a minor damage to the boot lock. The car's underbody has not been thoroughly inspected, but there are no remarks from the inspection authority. Glass and chrome are in good condition, and the wire wheel hubcaps and tires are also in good condition. The hardtop is in good condition with some paint on the chrome trims, rubber seal have come loose at the top of the right side window. The convertible top is also in good condition, but has damage and holes on the plastic rear window. Due to the cold weather, the plastic window and the convertible top were not fully folded, but the mechanisms for both the convertible top and the hardtop functioned well. The trunk shows some wear and tear, surface rust, and the lining is not fully intact.

  • General condition:

    Soon to celebrate its fifty years old. There are details to be addressed and refined, but it has relatively low mileage and is in a drivable and good condition for its age.

Facts about the model

Att både epiteten Super och Sport fanns med i 30-talaren Mercedes SSKL - Super Sport Kompressor Leicht från 1931 är väl ett känt faktum. Huruvida efterkrigstidens Mercedes beteckning SL står för Super Leicht eller Sport Leicht, är dock beroende på vem man lyssnar på i historien om Mercedes.

Nå väl, det vi vet är att den nya racern 300 SL med måsvingdörrar som kom 1952, så småningom kom att tillverkas i en mer civiliserad gatversion från 1954 - 1957. När den försvann, tillverkade man istället en öppen Roadster med samma prestanda och look 1957-1963.

Samtidigt tillverkade man också en lite lugnare och timidare versionen av en SL i R121 Mercedes 190 SL som tillverkades 1955-1963. När det var dags för efterföljare till dessa två, blev det bara en version, W113 Mercedes 230 SL, kallad Pagoda. Det blev både 250 SL- och 280 SL-versioner under åren 1963-1971.

Så i april 1971 var det dags för Pagodans efterträdare, R107 Mercedes 350 SL med en V8-motor om 3,5 L och 200 hkr. Såväl säkerhet som teknik och väghållning var rejält förbättrad mot föregångaren. Till år 1973 kom 450 SL med 225hkr, primärt för USA-marknaden. Till 1974 års modeller, erbjöd man även en sexcylindrig variant igen. Det rullade på med smärre förändringar under åren och den sista årsmodellen blev 1989, då det var dags för nästa generation, R129.

Från epitet som Pizza-racer och Dallasmoppe har nu 107:an tagit plats vid podiet, för klassiska sportbilar från Mercedes och bär SL-emblemet med all heder.
