Introduced early in 1971. this impressive two-seater sports car
replaced the 280 SL; the body and chassis of the third generation
Mercedes-Benz SL was considerably heavier and longer than its
predecessor but still showed a resemblance. The 3. 5-Litre. V8
engine underwent slight modifications to those being used on other
models and the gear shift lever was placed on the floor in the
centre of the car. The standard transmission provided a top speed
of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8. 8 seconds. As with
the previous generation SLs. the vehicle came as an open roadster
with removable hard top and went on to become one of the longest
running styles from Mercedes-Benz. A range of engine sizes were
available; one of the more powerful being the 4. 5-Litre unit.

This stunning example of Mercedes-Benz's 'Little Black
Dress' boasts just one former keeper and is presented in near
faultless silver metallic with a black unmarked leather interior. br/>having been subject to a very high standard cosmetic restoration by
a Mercedes-Benz approved body shop in late 2015. This roadster not
only has the engine and chassis to boast about. but is also
complemented by a very low mileage and an almost fully-stamped
service history until year 2000 at which point the car was laid up
and stored. covering only another 1. 00 miles. Accompanied by an
MoT test certificate valid until November 2016. this has the all
important hard top and. upon closer inspection. even has a written
journal from the former keeper detailing care in his ownership. br/>coupled with an extensive history file. handbooks and stamped
maintenance booklet alongside a wealth of MoT test certificates to
warrant the impressive mileage. Clearly an exceptional example of
this very popular vehicle. this beautiful Roadster. offered with a
great history. the reassurance of extensive professional cosmetic
works and a very appealing colour combination is sure to be a very
popular drop-top among our auction attendees.
