You are looking at a RARE and sought out classic Mercedes SL
What makes 1973 Model so special to collectors is that 1973 was the last year of Small Euro Bumpers being fitted on US-Spec R107 SL’s…1974 onward US models were fitted with less attractive big US spec safety bumpers, and power robbing emission controls! 1972 Had manual only windows, while power windows was a new available option for 1973 on SL's. 1973 Mercedes began calling the 350SL, the 450SL (due to the 4.5L motor size they used inboth cars)
Production date build 6 (June)/1973, making it one of the last 1973 R107SL's built beforethe 1974 change in US Specification & emission restrictions lowering HP
