I found this 1973 and it was so nice I bought it.   I have a 1973 Baby Blue that I bought new here in Southern Oregon.  I have 145K on it and in is a great car. original paint. leather seats and runs and drives great.   It is nice but this SL in near perfect. so nice that I decided I should keep my original SL as it was not perfect and so I could relax when I drove it.  The one for auction howerer is near perfect probably too nice for and old guy to drive and enjoy.   My 73 has been absolutely trouble free and at 100K I had a tune up. belts and hoses replace. valve ground etc.  The Mercedes mechanic said he could still see the original honing marks on the cylinder walls and it should last my life time or 500K which ever came first.  
I have a friend that was a Porsche dealer and has a fully restored early Porshe.  He inspected this car and found it unblemished and in wonderful condition.  
This SL. with only 76K original miles. has the early european bumpers. the 450 engine without all the smog requirements of later SL's and hence much more horsepower and economy.  Much more collectable.  This is a collectable Mercedes SL.   We have taken detailed pictures and inspected it for defects.  The only one we were able to find was a bit of wear on the drivers side leather seat bolster and som saging in the seat bottom from being set upon.  Very natural.  Chrome it great. both tops are great with the soft top like new. Book and records that came with the car.  Paint in near perfect as is the interior.  It runs. starts and drives great as it should.   It could be driven to the East Coast if desired.  The 73s witht the lack of some smog and the euro bumpers are the most collectable of the 107's.  This on stands out in a crowd.   I want it to go to a good and loving home and have priced it fairly for its condition.  Condition is what it is all about with collector cars and of course rarity.  This SL fills both bills.   
Come to Southern Oregon for an inspection and a drive.  I can take more pics if you want.  Email me at whf2929@aol. com or call at 541 944 2929
