Description
1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL (R107)
Serviced in Sep 2025 and MOT until Oct 2026
A very well-presented example of the iconic R107 series, this 1978 450 SL combines timeless Mercedes design with reliable V8 performance. Finished in classic Signal Red with a smart tan interior, it shows in good condition throughout and has clearly been cared for over the years.
Powered by the 4. 5-litre V8 with smooth automatic transmission. Both the factory hardtop and soft-top are included, giving year-round usability.
Key details:
• Year: 1978
• Model: Mercedes-Benz 450 SL (R107)
• Mileage: 102, 000
• Condition: Good – mechanically sound, clean interior, and presentable paintwork

This is a straight, honest car ready to be enjoyed immediately, whether as a weekend classic, an appreciating investment, or both.
Faults
Soft top will need refurbishment
Only service history available is the one I had done in Sep 2025 which was oil and oil filter.
While not required I have had an MOT put on the car which required £2, 700 of repairs (mostly welding to the outer sills).
Any inspections most welcome.
