In period, when you saw this model of Mercedes-Benz in movies and on television, the 450SL was shorthand for people who had “arrived.” They were often depicted pulling up to the finest restaurants and shops, or driving down palm-lined boulevards. Its solid reputation translates to the driving experience.

This fine automobile, sporting elegance, is painted in a lovely Metallic Blue with a matching Blue leather interior featuring pleated bucket seats. Under the bonnet is a 4.5-liter V-8 engine connected to a four-speed automatic transmission. As one would expect, this car is equipped with power steering, windows, disc brakes; convertible top, a Kenwood radio, air conditioning and matching hardtop. The owner reports that the engine has recently rebuilt, and is in great running condition.
