The Appeal

A well specified R107 is a chance to appreciate the appeal of chromework and handsome, unfussy lines. This car’s sleek black paintwork accents the extensive brightwork and works well with its popular Palomino leather cabin.

As a 4.5L 450SL this car is a rarity. It is a low mileage car that looks to be in good, original condition across the paintwork, bodywork and interior. There is a matching hard top and some desirable factory options like ‘Mexican Hat’ alloys, air conditioning and cruise control. The car is sold with its folding soft top and factory hard top in matching black.

This 450SL will look good and make a great noise as you motor your way on summer drives and road trips.
