Description

The Mercedes-Benz 450 SL, introduced as part of the R107 series in the early 1970s, represents one of Stuttgart's most durable and refined grand touring roadsters. Conceived as a successor to the Pagoda SL, the R107 combined understated elegance with robust engineering, long-distance comfort and exemplary build quality. Powered by a smooth, torque-rich V8, the 450 SL delivers effortless, relaxed performance, perfectly aligned with its role as a luxury touring car rather than an outright sports model. While widely sold in North America, the 450 SL was comparatively rare in the UK when new, with most examples delivered in left hand drive and only a small number officially supplied to the British market. As a result, UK-based cars have always been scarce, adding a further layer of desirability today. Its timeless styling, advanced safety features and reputation for longevity have ensured lasting appeal, and surviving UK examples are now increasingly sought-after by collectors seeking a usable, V8-powered classic with genuine rarity.

This example of the desirable 450 SL is presented in beautiful metallic silver with contrasting black and Tex trim which is in very good condition having been fully retrimmed when restored. First registered on 19th February 1977, this example has had just six previous keepers in 49 years and has been privately owned since 2019. During this tenure a significant sum has been spent on maintenance as it was a 'bucket list' purchase. As mentioned, there is evidence in the history file of restoration and bodywork which aids in this example looking very fresh coupled to significant maintenance invoices which includes a recent full comprehensive service with new oil and fluids an invoice for which can be found in the history file. The cherished registration number plate 'TGF 15R' is included and an MoT test certificate is present until May 2027. The chromework is lovely and there are no cracks in the dash and being a 450 the V8 purrs along even in modern day traffic. The perfect summer classic for those who want a more modern performance while retaining that iconic 70's design. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
