This beautiful Mercedes, a U.S. version, was delivered to its buyer in Germany in February 1972 (have paperwork ). It is an early model, serial number 2847. The car shows 64, 791 miles on the odometer. Documents exist which show that only 1, 500 miles have been put on the car in the last 8 years, but there is not adequate documentation to prove the odometer reading. The car was owned by the same family from the original purchase in 1972 until the sale in November 2009. This is the first year for the 107 model which was produced from 1972 to 1989. The 1972 U.S. model was labeled as a 350SL, but has a 4.5L engine; in 1973 the model was renamed as 450SL. The 1972 and 1973 models were the only years to have the small bumpers which make the car look so much better than the later models, and is absent the catalytic converters and complex and trouble prone climate control system of later years. The car was repainted in 2009 in the original dark olive (dunkeloliv) color, code 291 on the data plate. The color combination of this exterior color with the bamboo colored interior makes this car very attractive. The car has a beautiful brown canvas convertible top which looks beautiful with the green body color, and it also has the removable hard top in the same color as the body.
