Characterized by the 36 cm longer wheelbase and the distinctive louvered sail-deflectors on the rear windows, it combined high performance, great aesthetic refinement, and the brand’s typical safety. This May 15, 1972 example belongs to the very first production of the 350 SLC variant (model code 107.023). The car retains German registration documents, the original onboard manuals (including the maintenance booklet) and a DEKRA inspection report dating from 2018 (with a regular outcome; inspection currently expired in July 2020). Indicates 70,285 km on the odometer and is not offered as "matching numbers." It is currently located in Italy. BODYWORK/PAINTWORK: The body is finished in factory White (Mercedes-Benz code 050 G) and retains good overall gloss. As a preserved car of over fifty years, the paint shows slight signs of use and aging. Chromes, light clusters, glass and seals are intact and well preserved. The subframe shows an old protective layer with widespread superficial oxidation on suspension and exhaust components, with no evident structural perforations in the photos. INTERIOR: The cabin retains the period configuration with the characteristic original fabric upholstery with era-typical patterns. The seats, door panels and dashboard show normal signs of wear and aging appropriate to its age. The car is equipped with power steering, functioning air conditioning system and sunroof. MECHANICS: The 3,499 cc V8 petrol engine delivers 200 hp and is paired with an automatic transmission. The car starts regularly and runs smoothly: it accelerates properly, the braking system is efficient and the gearbox engages gears without anomalies. The engine bay is preserved and unrestored, showing the natural patina of time, superficial oxidation and traces of rust/paint loss on the upper radiator area. DOCUMENTS: The car is supplied with German registration documents and a rich set of original historical publications: • Original Mercedes-Benz maintenance booklet for 350 SL/350 SLC • User and maintenance manual and service station guides from the era • DEKRA inspection report from 2018 The car is located in Italy.
