What’s special about this listing
This 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents a well-preserved example of the iconic R107 roadster, finished in classic Silver Metallic over a striking blue MB-Tex interior. Powered by the original 4.5-liter M117 V8 paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, the car delivers the refined, effortless driving character that made these SLs legendary. The engine bay presents largely stock with correct Bosch fuel injection components, factory air intake, and proper ancillary equipment, reflecting long-term ownership and careful stewardship rather than cosmetic over-restoration. The interior remains highly original, showcasing correct instrumentation, period Becker radio, power windows, air conditioning, and well-preserved seating and trim. Riding on factory Bundt alloy wheels, this 450 SL offers an excellent balance of authenticity, usability, and visual appeal—an ideal example for the collector seeking a properly sorted, driver-quality classic that can be confidently enjoyed.
