1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

An exceptionally original R107.
The Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one of those classics that never goes out of style. Elegant, beautifully engineered, and built to last, the R107 has become one of Mercedes-Benz’s most desirable grand tourers.
This example is something special.
Showing just 61,000km from new, complete with its original books, this is a wonderfully preserved, low-mileage car that remains remarkably original throughout.
Finished in a stunning gold exterior over a rare green interior, it’s a colour combination seldom seen today and one that perfectly captures the era.
She starts on the turn, runs perfectly, and drives exactly as a low-mileage Mercedes-Benz should.
Highlights include:
* 61,000km from new
* Original books
* Original inside and out
* Rare gold exterior
* Original green interior
* Automatic transmission
* Hard top and soft top
* Soft top in excellent condition
* Starts and runs perfectly
* Presents exceptionally well
The only noticeable imperfection is a small wear mark on the driver’s seat bolster. We’ve deliberately left it untouched, as the remainder of the interior is beautifully original, and preserving originality is often worth far more than replacing it.
Previously part of a beautiful private Mercedes-Benz collection in the Free State, this 450SL has clearly been cherished throughout its life.
A proper collector’s Mercedes.
One that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in this level of originality and with such low mileage.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East for viewings per appointment only.
