DESCRIPTION

Offered for sale is a 4.5L 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL automatic. Coming with no history file, this lot's condition scores 55/135. 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 Nautic Blue Metallic with a matching hard top

Fitted with later M-B 'Starfish' alloys

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
