There’s something about classic ‘Mercs that continue to enamor the eyes of passers-by. They are sleek, sophisticated, and timeless. The same can be said about this 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL Convertible, one of the finest automobiles that Germany had to offer at the time. Although reportedly coming with 124,600 miles on the clock, the car has stood the test of time and continues to ride and handle just as its expected to. Additionally, being a convertible, there’s ample opportunity for you to put the top down and cruise on your way to wherever you may go. If the soft-top doesn’t seem as attractive of an option, an optional hard-top is also included according to the seller reports. So why not say yes to some good old classic fun with this Mercedes and help preserve some of the finest works of classic German engineering.
Long, swooping lines, follow throughout this 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL Convertible’s design language, an aesthetic that continues to be followed today in more contemporary models. The massive three-pointed star catches everyone’s gaze immediately as it leads your eyes along the side, towards the back. Although originally in green paint, this particular Mercedes comes in a special black wrap, that not only adds more protection to the vehicle’s original paint and body, but also brings a beautiful matte effect that lets the light shimmer in the light. The exterior is truly exquisite in every way. The same can be said of the interior. Given the time period, you’ll hardly find any tech to disrupt your experience, much unlike the cabins of Mercedes models today. However, the simple design is functional, practical, and very attractive, especially given the contrast cast by the black exterior and brown interior. The seats are in impeccable condition and are perfectly comfortable, as is the reportedly original steering wheel, which acts as the centerpiece to the entire interior. The switches and controls are fine, and you might also notice that a modern stereo system has been equipped for convenience’s sake, but isn’t all that obtrusive to break away from the original design of the vehicle.
The 4.5L V8 engine is reported to be in great condition, even undergoing a recent oil change. The automatic transmission is functional and gets this car running and cruising through any road that you may want to take. It’s perfectly capable for your needs and given the German engineering, will continue to serve you well for many years to come.
If you want to own a luxury Mercedes-Benz that’s a classic but still relatively modern, you can’t go amiss with an R107 example. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 SL-Class is a Hollywood darling and a perfect example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they set their minds on being the best. What’s more, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent choice because it’s got a lovely fuel-injected V8 beneath the hood. Packing a mere 98,500 miles, the current owner says that the car has received a new battery and all-new tires too. So, it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.

Looking back at the legendary SL lineup by Mercedes-Benz, it's hard not to fall in love. Each machine is crafted to provide the best in terms of open-top motoring, and no one did it better than the R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Built to last and be a status symbol of its time, getting your hands on a factory-clean Mercedes-Benz R107 is practically unheard of, with most examples not seeing the light of day. Present today is a true automotive unicorn and takes form with this lovely 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. With a reported 76,000 miles on the clock, this is an all-original example that throws it back to the good old days of open-top motoring; this German classic is reported to sport its original mileage and is all up to date as reported by the current owner.
What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was born as a sports car with no intention of developing into a street version. Two years later, a street-legal version was proposed for wealthy performance car enthusiasts, as the personal luxury car market was thriving at the time. A few decades later, the famed German automaker Mercedes-Benz commemorated the 60th anniversary of a memorable motor racing success. An extraordinary special model of the SL Roadster was unveiled to celebrate this milestone, and it was dubbed the "Mille Miglia," referring to the unexpected victory of a 300 SL in the production sports cars class in 1955. This example is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Special Edition Mille Miglia 417 with 30,150 miles on its clock. This is your chance to experience the unique symbiosis of maximum comfort and motor-racing spirit that traditionally characterizes every SL.
