Classic Car Overview
Classic Cars of Sarasota is proud to offer this beautiful 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL, a classic example of Mercedes-Benzs legendary R107-generation roadster. Finished in elegant White over a striking Red interior with a Black soft top, this 450SL combines timeless European styling with the smooth performance and engineering for which Mercedes-Benz was renowned.
Power comes from a 4.5-liter Bosch fuel-injected V8 producing 180 horsepower, paired with a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission. Independent front and rear suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes provide a comfortable and confident driving experience.
The R107 SL has become one of Mercedes-Benzs most recognizable classic roadsters. U.S.-market cars are easily identified by their prominent 5-mph impact bumpers and quad round headlights, while the distinctive 14-inch Bundt-style aluminum wheels complete the classic Mercedes-Benz appearance.
Inside, the Red interior provides a beautiful contrast to the White exterior. The cabin features the comfort and sophistication expected from a Mercedes-Benz luxury roadster, including the sophisticated vacuum-operated automatic climate-control system introduced for these models.
With its classic R107 styling, fuel-injected V8, open-air roadster configuration, and desirable White, Red, and Black color combination, this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is a wonderful classic for weekend cruising, car shows, or adding to a European collection.
