The next-generation 230/250/280SL in 1963 brought Mercedes' sports car down to Earth, replacing both the incredible 300SL and four-cylinder 190SL. For the next SL, Mercedes started with the chassis of the mid-size "W114/115" model and added the motors from the large "W116" S-Class. The result was a luxurious V8 Convertible that ended up being the longest-running passenger car series ever produced by Mercedes to date, with production through 1989. Specified with the desirable one year only Euro-style bumpers, this 450SL left the Sindelfingen based plant in 1973 in a beautiful Olive Green exterior over bamboo interior. The first owner ordered the SL with a Central Locking System, Becker radio, electric windows and the all-important Air-conditioning option. Today, this fine Mercedes-Benz presents in extraordinarily original condition throughout. With one re-spray in the original Olive Green, the car appears to be just a few years old. Original finishes throughout and a history file containing the original books, tools and spare key, this is a high-quality Mercedes-Benz ideally suited for touring with the matching hardtop or open top spirited driving. With nearly all the power amenities of a modern car, yet with the elegance and style of a classic Mercedes-Benz, these SLs are becoming more and more sought after by collectors worldwide π _______________________________________________ #auto #instacar #carporn #autoporn #design #automotive #vintage #drive #classic #classiccar #collect #icon #classiccarchasers #carphotography #forsale #drivetastefully #mercedes #benz #mercedesbenz #450sl #sl #convertible #luxury #elegance #v8".
