BODY OVERVIEW: This 450SL is the epitome of class, with classic Mercedes styling that has aged like fine wine (and will only get better from here!). The body is straight, smooth, and free of any major flaws, presenting exactly as a well-preserved two-owner SL should. The hard top adds versatility and style, and whether it’s on or off, this car just oozes sophistication!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Repainted in 2020 in its original English Red, the finish is nothing short of stunning. This paint job cost over $10,000, and it shows. The gloss, depth, and richness of the color turn heads and make this car a showstopper wherever it goes! Not to mention, English Red is seldom seen and makes this puppy stand out, even in a crowd of SLs. The original hard top retains its original paint and presents very well, while the black soft top is in serviceable condition and adds versatility to this already beautiful car. There are some defects in the original paint on the hard top, as seen in the photos.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: If the exterior is gorgeous, then the original interior is the true star of the show. Finished in tan MB Tex and presenting in stunning original condition, it’s clear this car has been pampered throughout its life. The dash, seats, and door panels have all been carefully preserved, and the retro-modern stereo fits right in, offering both style and modern functionality without sacrificing the vintage aesthetic.The condition of this original interior both supports the mileage, and shows a history of care.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Powered by a 4.5L V8, this SL runs as smooth as it looks! The engine purrs along effortlessly, delivering both sufficient power and overflowing refinement. Paired with an automatic transmission, it offers the perfect balance between classic motoring and modern comfort. Accessories are working as expected. Whether cruising down the highway or tackling your favorite back road, this car is truly a pleasure to drive! This 450SL is a turn-key classic.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: What’s not to love? From the striking English Red paint to the original tan interior, this SL is a time capsule of elegance. The convertible with the hard top/soft top combo gives you options for any kind of weather, and the addition of the retro-modern stereo ensures you can cruise in style and comfort with your favorite tunes! It’s a survivor in incredible condition, with low miles and the timeless appeal of vintage Mercedes-Benz engineering.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you’re looking for an all-original, untouched 450SL, the fact that it was repainted and has an upgraded stereo may not appeal to you. However, we find that these tasteful updates only add to the car’s charm, and help to preserve it for the future.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Just a new home! This 450SL is turn-key and ready for new adventures, whether you're taking it to car shows or simply enjoying a leisurely Sunday drive with the top down.
