Offered here is a piece of Hollywood and Mercedes history! This
1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL was once owned by famous actress Kim
Basigner. Miss Basigner came to prominence playing Bond girl Domino
Petachi in the 1983 film Never Say Never Again. She is also known
for roles in Batman (1997) and L.A. Confidential (1997); the car
comes with an authentic signed copy of the movie publication by
Miss Basigner. Her Mercedes also comes with authentic ownership
documentation such as her original registration, insurance card,
and copy of Kim's original title. She owned the car with her
husband, make-up artist Ron Britton.
This 80's Mercedes Roadster is finished in the original Light Ivory
paint with a matching removable hardtop. It has a brown soft top
with matching brown leather interior. The car was fully restored
with one repaint. It is powered by the original 4.5L V8 with an
automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. The car features
power windows, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, rear
window defroster, power antenna, and original stereo deck. It is a
a beautiful car, fires on command, and is a blast to drive,
especially with the top down. You can just imagine Kim and Ron
driving this car on the Hollywood Hills in the 90's.
The car also comes with all the books, manuals, and above mentioned
Kim Basigner authentic documentation. Be sure to check out all the
