PPW Motorcars is pleased to offer this Stunning 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL, which is exquisitely equipped in the incredibly rare and special order only English Red over a powdery and supple Bamboo Interior, which is one of the most highly desired and iconic color combination. Mercedes made around 150 colors in the 1970’s but nearly all produced were from their standard range or optional list of colors, which encompassed 30 or so. The additional were only available on request and some were so rare that they are near bespoke. English Red is one of those out of catalogue colors that is seldom seen. This particular example has been ordered with every option available; fitted with Climate Control Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Cruise Control, Electric Antenna, Becker Radio, Right Outside Mirror, Hardtop in Body Color, Black Soft Top, and Bundt Light Weight Alloy Wheels.
What makes this vehicle truly worth owning is the level of detail and hand assembled craftsmanship that is present in no automobile currently produced. This magnificent motorcar was produced in an era when owning a Mercedes-Benz meant something significant. There was no such thing as a $299 a month lease on a new C-Class; ownership was reserved for just a select few. With the factory window sticker showing an MSRP of over $32,000 ($149,496 when adjusted for inflation) this vehicle was one of the most expensive and best overall vehicles available during its time. It combined the road holding ability of a sports car with the opulent appointments of the finest luxury cars. This was a vehicle for the most discerning individual to whom sacrificing any virtue of the vehicle for the sake of another was unacceptable.
Setting this vehicle apart from all others, aside from mileage is the wonderful condition and recent service work. Most of these cars are in need of mechanical and cosmetic restoration just for basic functions to work. This one is a lovely turnkey driver that has been very well cared for from day 1. To find one in such great condition is nearly unheard of on a 43 year old car. The paint is as flawless as we have seen on any car and resembles a 10,000 mile car. The interior is gorgeous throughout with deep color that isn’t sun faded, has a crack free original dash (a massive testament to the overall condition), and has all the little details that makes owning one of these cars a pleasure. Last, to bring the vehicle fully to a high standard and ensure that the next owner has enjoyable trouble free motoring, we had a major service performed including the vitally important TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT! The retail cost of this service would easily eclipse $15,000 but for such a magnificent example, we felt that nothing should be left to chance as the owner of this vehicle will be most interested in driving it, not having it serviced. This vehicle is ready to be enjoyed today and we proud to offer what we believe to be one of the best examples of the coveted 450SL Mercedes available anywhere. Offered to the collector, enthusiast, or investor who appreciates the magnificent investment potential of this magnificent motorcar! Bid with confidence-you will not be disappointed in this truly amazing motorcar!
