The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series represents one of the most successful luxury convertibles ever produced, with its big, angular lines and straight-faced profile shooting it straight into the zeitgeist. Powered by a big, rock-solid 4.5-litre V8, the 450SL offered the perfect balance of performance and refinement.
This particular 1974 450SL embodies the sophisticated grand touring experience that made these models so coveted. Already imported to Europe with all duties and VAT paid, the buyer will simply have to register the car in Europe and return it to the road, where it will no doubt prove a very rewarding classic.
