*Low mileage with some history
*Good paintwork and interior trim
*A stylish sports GT that is bound to appreciate
The R107 SL and SLCs were Mercedes-Benz's second longest-running single series after the G-Wagen, being made from 1971 through 1989. Undeniably stylish and chic, the R107 has started to be appreciated by classic collectors and this 450SL, with its lusty V8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission remains a wonderful touring car. Finished in metallic red with black leather interior with very 1970s period grey cloth inserts, it can be best described as sound and usable with room for improvement. With its low mileage and hard and soft tops, this is an iconic sportster that is also MOT and road tax free; although it has a fresh test certificate with no advisory items.
