The Mercedes-Benz SL name has always signified a certain level of automotive style and sophistication and each new generation seems both to define and be defined by its era. The first-year cars were dubbed 350SL in keeping with the model designation for Europe despite actually carrying a 4.5-liter V-8 under-hood a fuel-injected V-8 featured an overhead cam which delivered 230 horsepower. It was driven by a three-speed automatic with no manual transmission on offer. The suspension was fully independent and four-wheel disc braking was standard. For 1973 the cars name was revised and 450SL would be the model designation moving forward. This beautiful vehicle is painted in Astro Silver Metallic with dark Blue interior and a dark Blue soft top. It is equipped with all standard power options including air conditioning, cruise control, factory chrome alloy wheels, both tops and more.
