1971 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL (R107)

Highlights

  • A 2016 Peking to Paris Rally competitor
  • Roll-cage, Monit rally computer, sump guard etc.
  • 3.5-litre V8
  • Manual gearbox

The Appeal

The dusty expanse of the Gobi desert, the great open Siberian steppe, the plains of eastern Europe, this car has seen them all. In 2016 it set off from the Great Wall of China with numbers on its doors and the steely look of determination in the eyes of its crew. Their destination: Paris.
The car is presented still with some of the battle scars it picked up during this epic rally: a few scuffs and scrapes but seemingly nothing major. It retains its half roll-cage and Monit rally trip meter, ready to be pressed into use at a moment’s notice. 
So why not take this opportunity to acquire a car with a fascinating story, one which wears its travel stains with pride, and add a capable rally-prepared Mercedes to your collection.
