Description

In an era when Mercedes-Benz built its global reputation on quality, comfort, and engineering excellence, the SL quickly established itself as one of the marque’s defining icons. Beneath the bonnet lies the robust 4.5-litre V8 (M117), ideally suited to the relaxed, effortless grand touring character for which this model is so well regarded.

This Mercedes-Benz 450 SL is a particularly fine example in every respect. Originally delivered new to the United States and finished in elegant Astral Silver Metallic, it is complemented by a blue interior (code 132). The period side striping further enhances the body lines, underlining the timeless and confident design language of the R107.

The car originates from a German collection of multiple SL models, where it benefited from a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic refresh, with a clear emphasis on the technical integrity of the vehicle. It retains elements of its original paintwork, lending it an honest and authentic presentation. Although some documentation has been lost over time, the overall condition reflects consistent and careful maintenance, resulting in a well-sorted and highly usable classic.

Well specified, it is equipped with air conditioning and Tempomat, making this 450 SL a particularly comfortable and enjoyable grand tourer in all conditions.

Inside, the cabin presents very well, with upholstery and trim that remain faithful to the original specification. It is a space you naturally enjoy spending time in — whether cruising at leisure or paused at a quiet terrace on a summer’s day.

A stylish open grand tourer with genuine character, combining classic Mercedes-Benz comfort with real-world usability.

Step in, turn the key, and enjoy every mile.
