SUMMARY
Offered at No Reserve, this R107 SL would benefit from some TLC...
DESCRIPTION
Offered for sale is a 4.5L 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL (R107) automatic that has been with the current owner for over 10 years. Coming with a partial history file, this lot's condition scores 59/135. Offered at No Reserve, this R107 SL would benefit from some TLC...
Dating from 1978, the 230bhp, 450SL was no slouch with 0-60 in 9.7 seconds and 133mph
This is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive car now finished in Navy Blue with a matching hard top
Fitted with later M-B 'Starfish' alloys but the valuable original 'Mexican Hat' alloys are included
R107 SLs are fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, and quite valuable in good condition
Some time and a moderate investment would take this Classic Mercedes to the next level
Exterior: 2/5, Interior: 2/5, Engine: 3/5, Transmission: 3/5, Running gear: 2/5, Electrics: 2/5, Vehicle history: 2/5 For a full condition report, view this car on www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/.
