1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL with approximately 65,500 miles. Long-term Arizona car, garage-kept for over 20 years, and well maintained throughout. Finished in the iconic 930 Silver Blue Metallic, a classic Mercedes-Benz color that highlights the understated elegance of the R107 design, and paired with its original tan MB-Tex interior. Offered with both tops, along with the very useful rolling vertical hardtop stand. This is a practical and desirable accessory that makes hardtop storage and handling significantly easier. This is an honest, carefully maintained example that has benefited from long-term ownership and extensive documented service over time rather than recent cosmetic freshening for sale.

The presentation of the car reflects consistent care and maintenance. The Silver Blue Metallic finish shows well and complements the original interior, giving the car a timeless, period-correct appearance that remains one of the most attractive color combinations offered on these cars. The body, trim, and overall cosmetics present as a well-kept, original example rather than a recently restored vehicle.

Included with the car is a substantial service history file reflecting ongoing professional maintenance and major mechanical work over the years. The records document regular service and repair activity across the engine, cooling, fuel, brake, steering, suspension, transmission, and A/C systems, along with age-related rubber, hose, belt, and related maintenance items addressed over time. This level of documentation is uncommon and reinforces the cars long-term ownership and careful stewardship. The odometer was professionally repaired during ownership, and the service records help support the cars overall documented history.

The HVAC system has received periodic service over time and has been carefully maintained. As is common for R107 modelsparticularly those in hot climatesthe only current known item is the climate-control servo, a typical age-related component that has been professionally diagnosed and is reflected in the pricing.

This 450SL represents a well-maintained and well-documented example finished in the highly desirable Silver Blue Metallic color, offering a combination of originality, documented maintenance, and long-term ownership that is increasingly difficult to find. It is a strong candidate for an enthusiast seeking a properly cared-for R107 rather than a cosmetically refreshed car with limited history.
