1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Seen in popular TV shows such as Dallas and Dynasty and thanks to its incredible build quality, sharp styling and ample V8 power, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SL was for years the preferred luxury roadster for celebrities, sports stars and just about anyone who could afford this premium two-seater. Here we have a beautiful 1979 450 SL that has had only two caring owners and has only logged about 42,000 miles since it rolled out of the Mercedes’ showroom back in 1979. The car has just had its brakes, A/C system and a few other items serviced, and as such is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. The original silver paint on the car’s rock-solid body still gleams, as does the various chrome and stainless-steel trim. There is a new blue soft top and this SL also comes with the removeable hardtop, essentially transforming the car into a closed coupe when the owner prefers. Simply opening and closing the doors or trunk lid reveals the impressively precise and solid build quality of this car. Inside, apart from minor wear showing on the driver's side bolster, the car’s dash, door panels upholstery and carpet all look and feel as you would expect of a properly cared for, 42,000-mile example. Underway, the 450 SL is a smooth operator that moves out swiftly when asked and cruises effortlessly at higher speeds, not a surprise given its Autobahn-bred design. This is more a comfortable grand touring car than hard-edged sports machine and makes for a fantastic road trip choice, especially with the top down during nice weather.
