Description
At a time when Mercedes-Benz had built its worldwide reputation on quality, comfort and technical excellence, the SL quickly established itself as one of the marque’s icons. Under the bonnet lies the robust 4. 5‑litre V8 (M117), perfectly suited to the relaxed, effortless grand‑touring character that has made this model famous.
This Mercedes-Benz 450 SL is an exceptional example in every respect. Delivered new in the United States and finished in an elegant Astral Silver metallic colour, it features a blue interior (code 132). The period side stripes accentuate the bodylines, highlighting the timeless, assertive styling of the R107.
This car hails from a German collection of several SLs, where it underwent a full mechanical and cosmetic restoration, with a constant aim of preserving its technical integrity. It still retains elements of its original paint, giving it an authentic and well‑kept presentation. Although some documents have been lost over the years, the overall condition shows regular, meticulous maintenance, making this a well‑kept classic that is perfectly usable every day.
Well equipped, it features air conditioning and the Tempomat system, which makes this 450 SL particularly comfortable and pleasant to drive in all conditions.
Inside, the cabin is immaculate, with upholstery and finishes faithful to the original. It’s a space where one enjoys spending time, whether for a relaxed cruise or a break on a sunny terrace.
An elegant open‑top GT with a definite character, combining Mercedes‑Benz’s classic comfort with everyday practicality.
Step aboard, turn the key and savour every mile.
