Description
The Atelier des 1000 is pleased to present this elegant Mercedes-Benz 450 SL R107, offered in a particularly stylish configuration with its rare triple blue: blue paint, blue leather interior and a matching blue soft top.
This iconic cabriolet wonderfully embodies the automotive refinement of the 1980s: the R107 blends reliability, comfort and a timeless style that transcends decades without ever losing its appeal.
A true concentration of Mercedes savoir-faire, the W107 remains today a reference in the world of classic cars, thanks to its versatility and driving pleasure without compromise.
Particularly admired by enthusiasts, the 450 SL is seduced by its 4. 5-litre V8 engine, synonymous with pleasure, mechanical nobility and smoothness of use. It perfectly embodies the balance between elegance and driving enjoyment, while offering an authentic experience typical of Mercedes with a long tradition.
Our example was delivered new in February 1974 in the USA, then imported from California in 2021 by us. It benefited from an "Euro spec" conversion and a restoration before being sold to its last owner.
Our example stands out for its desirable configuration, excellent condition, and over €10, 000 of recent expenditures.
Mechanically, the 4. 5L V8 runs perfectly. It starts easily, with no unusual noises or smoke, and delivers a smooth and enjoyable drive, with torque available across the entire operating range.
The exhaust system, recently replaced, offers a muffled tone.
The automatic transmission provides smooth, jerk-free gear changes, delivering ideal driving comfort for cruising with the wind in your hair.
The running gear shows no abnormal play and the shock absorbers perform their role perfectly, guaranteeing a safe and comfortable road hold.
The original wheels are in good condition and fitted with new tyres.
The blue paint retains a good overall shine.
The floor panels were replaced in 2022 to the highest standards, with a photo record confirming the bodywork work, ensuring healthy and corrosion-free subframes. As for the body alignments, they are within standards.
The chromes, well preserved, contribute to the overall elegance and are perfectly gleaming.
The blue MBTex interior presents a warm patina, contributing to the authenticity of this example. While showing signs of use consistent with its mileage, the cabin remains fully presentable and functional.
Blue overmats, door panels and sun visors were replaced in 2022.
Our example features a rear bench seat and a 4-seat registration certificate.
The blue alpaca fabric 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. Trade-in and part-exchange considered.
