If you have a thing for classic European sports cars, or more specifically, roadsters, then the R107 chassis number by Mercedes-Benz is undoubtedly something you've heard of before. You see, the R107 model and its many variations were the best of what Mercedes had to offer, borrowing bits and pieces from other models to become a piece of art that would be the second-longest single series produced by the automotive giant after the G-Class. There's no mistaking the R107 for anything else. It's a unique piece of automotive history, a collector's delight if you will, and its fan base is as dedicated as any. If you wish to own a significant piece of modern automotive history, then you've stumbled across the right vehicle; this magnificent 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster could be yours.
Not much changed in design even though production lasted for 18 years, and it didn't have to; the car was stunning, and boy, it turned heads. Unlike typical sports cars, the SL450 was not a cheeky little toy that would zip around the city. No, the SL450 was still a Mercedes-Benz, and a Mercedes-Benz does not deviate when it comes to opulence. This fine 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL stands in a beautiful Silver Metallic exterior with a removable color-matching hardtop and looks to have sustained its original condition. One need not expect disappointment when it comes to the interior of a Mercedes-Benz. Like this one, many 450SLs received a plush navy-blue leather exterior. From the way this one has held up, it is safe to say that the interior is made of pure, high-quality material, from the plush seats up front to the single bench in the rear, from the color-matching covers that sit over the dash, to the black plastics that are embedded within the leather, the 450SL feels designed.
In 1973, the North American models of the 350 SL were renamed the 450SL as they were bestowed with larger 4.5L V8 engines tuned to meet U.S. emission requirements. As a result, this 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL can produce around 180hp and around 220lb-ft of torque.
Now here’s a classic car that’s perfectly representative of what the cream of the crop were driving around in the Seventies and Eighties. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is part of the R107 series of the popular SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 became a firm favorite with those who could afford it and demanded signature Mercedes-Benz luxury in a two-door, grand-tourer body. It posed significant threats to models from established American luxury automakers as a result. Of the over 300,000 examples made, over two thirds came to North America! Yes, the R107 was immensely popular, which is why you should seriously check out this Jacksonville-based car. And if you need more convincing, it’s got a super low 28,507 miles on the clock!
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!
In the late Sixties, Mercedes-Benz knew that it was time to replace their iconic W114 line-up of grand touring coupes. Development started on a successor, and by 1971, the R107 and C107 generation was released. It bore the name SL, and in the case of the R107, came with a removable hardtop plus a soft top. Meanwhile, the C107 was a fixed-head coupe. The R107 in particular would prove to be a massive success. In total, over 237,000 R107 variants were made between 1971 and 1989. Today, an R107 represents a sound and safe way to get into classic cars, as it’s built tough and can keep going on and on when properly maintained.

Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon.
