The owner has made a few discreet modifications, without betraying the model’s authenticity. He notably rebuilt the dashboard himself, originally white, in black to eliminate distracting glare while driving.
The hard top, perfectly matched to the bodywork (original colour), is painted in the same Midnight Blue shade, reinforcing the visual unity of the whole. The floors, meanwhile, have been completely redone with care and are now in impeccable condition, bearing testament to the thorough restoration carried out.
This model benefits from the American finish, identifiable by several distinctive details: the front indicators are located under the bumper, a typical feature of US-market versions, and there are chrome inserts at the end of the doors, adding a touch of shine faithful to the era’s aesthetics.
Mercedes 350 SL 1973: The V8 in a smoking jacket
In a world of motoring upended by brute performance and avant-garde styling, the Mercedes-Benz 350 SL of 1973 stands as a gentleman. Not one of those hurried gentlemen, no: an aesthete. A V8 in a smoking jacket, who prefers to murmur its power rather than shout it.
First appearing in 1971 under the code name R107, the 350 SL succeeds the famous Pagoda (W113) by bringing a more modern style and a sturdier build. It symbolises German luxury of the 70s, with quality and durability designed to stand the test of time, sometimes across two generations.
The Mercedes 350 SL, the first version of the legendary R107 range, was produced from 1971 to 1980, before giving way to other powertrains within a line kept on the catalogue until 1989.
Under its long bonnet, the 3. 5L V8 M116 producing 200 hp delivers a smooth, confident power. Coupled with a 4-speed manual, it offers a calm and relaxed drive. At the wheel, you don’t just drive, you travel; carried by the wind and the elegance of another era.
And then there is the style. That style. Bruno Sacco’s design vision for Mercedes. Sharp lines, perfect proportions, visual balance bordering on perfection. Whether it wears its hard top painted to the body colour or its fabric roof neatly stowed away, the 350 SL has that quiet aura of well-born cars. It isn’t a car that seeks to seduce. It knows it appeals.
Inside, it’s a bygone era that welcomes you. Noble wood, thick carpet, buttons that click with satisfaction. No screens, no useless gadgets. Just what is needed.
The 350 SL isn’t merely a collectible. It’s a time capsule full of charm, offering with every journey what motoring has most rare today: character and authenticity.
