Vehicle Description
The Mercedes-Benz SL series started out as the top of the line
sports luxury tourer that offered both performance and comfort. The
third generation SL was called the R107 chassis and is one of the
most recognizable Mercedes of all time. Produced from 1971 all the
way to 1989, the R107 lived a long and cherished life. The United
States was an extremely popular market for the personal luxury
coupe and almost ? of all SL's were sold here. While not as quick
or pretty as their European cousins, the US market SL's still
represented the cream of the personal luxury car crop. The 450SL
was an mid level model that offered an excellent blend of both
efficiency and V8 performance.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice 1978 450SL for your
consideration. Finished in a lovely shade of Milan Brown, this
450SL is very clean. The paintwork is very nice and the body is
clean. It features US market bumpers, fog lights, nice 14in "Bundt"
alloy wheels and a matching factory hard top. The interior features
parchment leather seats that are very clean. The dash is nice and
it features an original Becker radio, servotronic climate control,
and very nice zebrano wood trim. The interior is comfortable and
very luxurious.
The 4.5L V8 is an excellent runner and the car has been very well
taken care of since new. The automatic transmission is smooth and
unobtrusive and the car goes down the road very well. This is an
excellent example of lovely classic roadster.
