1977 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL | London, Essex

A 1977 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL, from the R107 generation of the SL roadster that Mercedes built from 1971 to 1989. It is known as a relaxed grand tourer, with a composed ride and the solid, well-made feel of a Mercedes of its day. The model has a soft top and a detachable hardtop, so it can be shown open or closed. This car is finished in Gold with a Cream interior, a soft, warm pairing that reads well against brick, stone or greenery. Its 3.5-litre petrol engine gives it an unhurried, touring character. The bodywork has clean, uncluttered lines that photograph well from any angle. That makes it a good match for period adverts, fashion and editorial shoots, music videos, and film and TV set in the 1970s or 1980s. At events, it gives an arrival a polished, understated presence. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. The car is based in London and Essex.
