This exceptionally original and well-preserved 450SL is believed to have had just 2 owners from new, and has covered 82,000 miles. The car is understood to have been fastidiously maintained, and was stored in a heated garage for most of its life, this level of care being clearly evident today upon a close inspection. Finished in an elegant astral silver exterior color and with neatly contrasting black mb-tex interior, this Mercedes-Benz perfectly suits the era in which it was one of the finest cars on the road.

Overall the interior is in wonderful condition. There are no cracks on the original dashpad and it shows in excellent shape. Carpet shows very clean. The door cards are very clean and crisp and the black mb-tex is in superb condition with supple padding. This 450SL, delivered in classic astral silver is about the nicest color to accent the beautiful lines of an R107 body.

Quick, comfortable and built to extremely high standards, this silver over black Mercedes-Benz 450SL is equipped with an automatic transmission, air conditioning, a Becker Europa AM-FM Cassette radio and two tops — a silver hardtop and an original issue black soft top. Stainless and aluminum body trim gives the SL that exclusive, quality feel and presence these cars are renowned for. Compartments are ultra clean including the engine bay, trunk and undercarriage. Extraordinarily well preserved and maintained, this Mercedes-Benz should offer its next owner many miles of open top motoring.

Comes with all the original Mercedes handbooks and manuals including the MB service booklet with well documented records that include mileage readings, dates and services performed at Mercedes Benz authorized and independent specialist shops. The factory spare, tool roll and jack are also included.

Includes quad USA headlamps and angled unique front turn signals as intended for North America vehicles. Coming out of long term elderly ownership from Washington state. These early 107 V-8 cars have a unique spartan feel with features such as louder exhaust with potent open road torque. The early EFI 107 models were quite lively.

It wears period correct 14 inch factory finish bundt style wheels. The slim fit factory bumpers still have the bumperettes affixed and appear to be in nice condition.

The door cards appear original without tearing or ripping to note and the original dash pad has a small crack in the center area. Period correct matching blue loop carpet appears to be in nice condition. The rear shelf area was given a removable cushion kinder seat option but did not have any seatbelts added for safety. The navy blue soft top appears to be in nice condition with good canvas and proper open / close ease.

Major mechanical refurbishments have been done in the last year along with updated original parts to prepare for new ownership.

It comes with the original spare, jack and factory tool roll. The books and manuals are sans and all service records from prior ownership were lost and still have not been located at this time.
