The original Mercedes-Benz service book shows that it was registered to its first Mayfair owner in early 1972 and contains seven stamps through to 2015, supporting the very low indicated mileage. It's finished in Arctic White with black leather trim, rare in period as most cars were specified with cloth or MB-Tex. The correspondence in the history file suggests that the SL was used by the first owner and his wife through to 1991 (first and second owners) when it was sold to its third owner who put it into storage where it remained until purchased by our vendor in 2015 (only 193 miles were covered in 22 years and all documented). It comes supplied with hardtop and a fascinating history file containing the service records, a fresh MOT valid until April 2025.
This particular car was feature on the front and centre pages of Classic Mercedes Magazine in 2015 with the comparison to a final production car from 1989.
Exempt from MOT and Tax as it is a Classic car but MOT is well documented for the proof of mileage.
