Description
The Atelier des 1000 is delighted to present this elegant Mercedes-Benz 450 SL R107, offered in a particularly striking configuration with its rare triple blue: blue paintwork, blue leather interior and matching soft top.
This iconic convertible perfectly embodies the automotive refinement of the 1980s: the R107 combines reliability, comfort and a timeless style that transcends the decades without ever losing its appeal.
A true embodiment of Mercedes craftsmanship, the W107 remains an essential reference in the world of classic cars today, thanks to its versatility and uncompromising driving pleasure.
Highly appreciated by enthusiasts, the 450 SL seduces with its 4. 5L V8 engine, synonymous with driving enjoyment, mechanical nobility and ease of use.
It perfectly embodies the balance between elegance and driving pleasure, whilst offering an authentic experience typical of Mercedes' great tradition.
Our example was delivered new in February 1974 to the USA, then imported from California in 2021 by us. It benefited from a 'Euro spec' conversion and a restoration, before being sold to its last owner.
Our example stands out for its desirable configuration, fine condition, and over €10, 000 in recent expenditure.
Mechanically, the 4. 5L V8 runs perfectly. It starts easily, with no abnormal noises or smoke, and delivers smooth and pleasant driving, with torque available across the entire operating range.
The exhaust system, recently replaced, offers a refined note.
The automatic gearbox ensures smooth and seamless gear changes, offering ideal driving comfort for cruising with the wind in your hair.
The running gear shows no abnormal play and the dampers perform their role perfectly, guaranteeing safe and comfortable handling.
The original wheels look good and are fitted with new tyres.
The blue paintwork retains a fine overall lustre.
The floor pans were replaced to the highest standards in 2022, with a photographic record attesting to the bodywork, ensuring sound underbodies free from corrosion. As for the body panel alignment, it is within standard specifications.
The chrome, well preserved, contributes to the overall elegance and is perfectly gleaming.
The blue MBTex interior displays a warm patina, which contributes to the authenticity of this example. Whilst showing some signs of use consistent with its mileage, the cabin remains entirely presentable and functional.
The blue floor mats, door panels and sun visors were replaced in 2022.
Our example benefits from a rear bench seat and a registration document for 4 seats.
The blue alpaca soft top was replaced in 2022 as well and is in excellent condition, as is the hard top.
Given its condition and configuration, we are offering this vehicle at €21, 990. Part-exchange and trade-in considered.
