1979 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 450SL Roadster R107

Up for sale is beautiful 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL R107 Roadster Convertible. Its original and very elegant Light Ivory paint shines beautifully and Powerful V8 engine purrs and runs strong as ever.

The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.

Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizable - the Gullwing Mercedes, the '57 Chevy, and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy, yet affordable as a 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz.
