The Appeal
There is something about a V8-powered R107. That muted yet rumbly soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to a hugely comfortable car that seems tailor-made to make every journey effortless.
This ‘77 350SL, affectionately known as ‘Doris’ has been a much-loved companion of the current keeper since 2019. And you can see why. It is a pretty car, finished in silver with blue hard top, soft top and wheel centres and matching leather interior. Across the outside and inside it is very well kept for a 48 year old car. The bodywork benefits from attention to the sills and localised paintwork rectification since the vendor acquired the car.
It has been regularly serviced and maintained since he bought it using SL Shop parts. It was last serviced in February and has covered a few miles since.
In great condition and with that lovely V8, this is a very smart and usable example of these perennially popular convertibles.
The vendor says:
'Doris' has brought me nothing but joy over the years. I have averaged less than 5000miles/year and it has performed for every mile. It's iconic shape and clean glistening body will be sorely missed.
