New Arrival! Desirable early model US 450SL, pre-cat, pre-giant-bumpers. Highly original in configuration, and in the original stunning color combination of Black over Red as delivered from the factory.
Lots of documentation accompanies this car, including service records from 2015-2023, the original window sticker, and all original books (including early service stamps). The most recent owner had the seats reupholstered as well as some paintwork performed. New tires were installed in 2016, and a fairly extensive service was performed in January 2023 to diagnose a hot-start issue. We just inspected and serviced the car in our shop prior to listing and replaced the front subframe bushings. The radio was noted to be inoperable.
A number of accessories accompany the sale, including the factory-equipped hard top, a hard top stand, two keys, books, complete tool roll, spare tire, first aid kit, and miscellaneous spare parts.
Overall this is a very clean and low mileage 450SL, and arguably the most desirable year of the R107, a body style that has been increasingly appreciated in recent years especially with the sometimes stratospheric rise in values of many 50s and 60s Mercedes convertibles.
