Description
MERCEDES - Mercedes 450 SL - Type: Passenger car - Body style: Convertible - Engine type: ES - Colour: GREY - Odometer reading: 87,270 - First registration: 23/03/1979 - Power: 26 - Seats: 2 - WITH REGISTRATION DOCUMENT - Remarks: Mercedes 450 SL, originally from France, 87,270 km on the odometer. We are offering this beautiful Mercedes 450 SL for sale; it was originally delivered new in Paris and appears to have had only four owners (as per the vehicle history report). The first owner was none other than Chérif Tifaoui, a karate legend and former president of the COA (Algerian Olympic Committee). The second owner, a Parisian, sold it in 1999 to a French government official (a copy of the vehicle registration document from when it was registered as 1979 RS 62 is provided). The latter stored it away almost immediately after purchase until selling it to its current owner in 2023. The odometer seized at 87,267 km during its years in storage (the speedometer needle is functional) and the current owner has driven less than 5,000 km in three years. It is therefore conceivable that this vehicle has less than 100,000 km on the clock, making this example one of the lowest-mileage examples on the market. The wear on the steering wheel, seats and rubber pedal pads confirms its low mileage. This vehicle underwent a major overhaul when it was purchased in 2023: - fuel pump - complete ignition system - coils, spark plug resistors - all fluids changed - soft top.......... The vehicle is in good working order with a few superficial signs of corrosion. The engine is in excellent condition and the gearbox is smooth, just as it should be. The bodywork isn’t perfect (body seals are average) and there are a few minor signs of wear. A very, very nice original interior (armrest needs reattaching, as does the star logo on the boot lid; hazard lights do not work). Hardtop supplied in the same colour as the bodywork. This vehicle, despite its flaws, still looks very good with a glossy paint finish and a lovely colour combination. In short, a beautiful car in its original condition, just waiting to be restored to its former glory. A French 450SL with a verifiable history has become rare to find and easily fetches 35,000 euros with a higher mileage!!!!
