Mercedes-Benz 350 SL 1972
Specifications
Description
A Mercedes-Benz is engineered like no other car in the world.
The SL is a grand tourer manufactured by Mercedes-Benz since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight and was first applied to the 300SL.
About the only thing as valuable today's Mercedes Benz is yesterday's Mercedes Benz, when its philosophy was to preclude annual styling changes and the mass production of inexpensive cars. As a result, yesterday's models become more sought after and expensive as they get older.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Immaculate condition throughout
- Clean, Rust free body with beautiful, like new paintwork and the colour scheme is amazingly beautiful.
- This car was subjected to a ground up restoration and is today, without a doubt, one of the finest examples of this model in New Zealand
- When it was new back in 1971, this Mercedes-Benz 350SL cost twice as much as a Jaguar E-Type, which actually is less ridiculous than seems. On paper, this Mercedes may not be all that special, but its superlative built quality is what sets it apart from everything else. This particular SL was so well built, it remains in excellent condition 47 years after leaving the factory.
- Driving wise – its one of the best we've owned or driven.
- All matching numbers.
In many ways, the SL is the perfect classic car: one could argue that its not the fastest or prettiest, but still affordable to buy (especially when one considers that this is the model after the Pagoda). Plus its reliable and easy to live with. What more do you need?
This is a driver's car where form follows function; where performance and safety work hand in hand.
No small wonder that these older Mercedes keep increasing in value. They boast a unique legacy and represented in their time state of the art automotive technology. It will be interesting to see what these cars will be worth in a few years time.
Car will be sold Warranted and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
