The Mercedes-Benz SL is a grand tourer manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight - and was first applied to the 300SL 'Gullwing' named also after its gullwing or upward-opening doors. When the first 350s were exported to the US, because of the strict horsepower robbing emission requirements, the US 350s were shipped with low compression 4.5 liter engines.MotoeXotica is proud to offer this beautiful 1972 Mercedes Benz 350SL Convertible.
