Mercedes-Benz 350 SL, 1972.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HISTORY/GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Mercedes-Benz SL 350 V8 was premiered in Spain in 1972, making it a coveted national and European 107.
It sat for many years in a closed garage and six months ago it was started up after replacing the fuel pump, and the engine runs well, but after so many years without use it needs a thorough overhaul.
Bodywork.
The paint is in good condition and shiny, but in some areas there is rust under the paint; it’s hard to reflect this in the report because the paint hasn’t peeled.
It has its hard top and the canvas soft top is in good used condition and does not need to be replaced.
Interior.
It is in good condition given the age and use. It is missing some trim pieces and has a small crack in the central console (see photos), but it can be enjoyed without issues.
Underside.
There is deep rust in some areas of the fenders (see photos) but overall it is sound; only a few rust-damaged areas need repair.
Engine.
It was started six months ago and starts at first try and can run without problems; an oil and filter change was done, the transmission oil was changed, and the exhaust silencer was repaired. It would benefit from a good injector tune-up to run smoothly, and due to the lack of use more checks are likely needed.
Other
The car is located in Madrid and must be collected there. If awarded, we have 20 days of storage.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
