This is an incredible opportunity to own a highly desirable classic Mercedes 450SL in a rare two-tone color combination. Finished in the stunning Colorado Beige (470) exterior with a Topaz Brown (424) hardtop and complemented by a Light Tan Leather interior (204), this car is an absolute showstopper. The exterior also features a Dark Brown soft-top (746). This is the correct and original factory color scheme, verified by the codes on both the vehicle data card and metal data plate — both of which are still with the car and pictured in this ad.

It is exceedingly rare to find an SL of this vintage in such a striking two-tone combination, making this 450SL a standout example. The Colorado Beige body paired with the Topaz Brown hardtop is an elegant and unique look. This classic will only become more valuable over time as the market for vintage SLs continues to rise.

This car has been meticulously maintained and is in excellent condition, both mechanically and aesthetically. It is a fantastic driver and is ready for its next owner to enjoy.

Exterior:

The Colorado Beige (470) exterior is in spectacular condition. The paint has a brilliant gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish that gives this Mercedes a timeless look. Both doors open and shut smoothly with that solid, satisfying feel characteristic of a Mercedes-Benz. We have seen no signs of paint lines, overspray, or any poor-quality touch-ups. The chrome trim and bright-work shine brilliantly, while the original alloy wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash. The car sits on Michelin tires with around 5,000 miles on them, correctly sized 205/70R14. The car has been well-preserved and has absolutely no rust. The underside is clean and solid, with specific photos of the rockers, lower front, and rear quarter panels to showcase its excellent condition.

Interior:

The Light Tan Leather (204) interior is in outstanding condition. The original leather seats look just as pristine in person as they do in the photos, showing no tears, rips, or split seams. The driver’s bolster shows minimal wear, a testament to the car’s low mileage and careful ownership. The gauges are crisp and clear, and the carpet is in great condition with no rips or stains. The door panels are immaculate, with no cracks or splits, and the door pulls are solid. The dashboard has no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The Dark Brown (746) convertible soft-top is in excellent shape with no rips or splits and crystal-clear rear windows with no yellowing or fogging. This car has never been smoked in and retains a fresh, clean interior scent, with a factory lighter that appears unused.

The trunk is incredibly clean, featuring the original spare tire and rim, jack, and tool kit with the correct Mercedes wrenches. The Mercedes first-aid kit is also complete and still with the car.

Mechanical:

This 450SL is in great mechanical condition. The engine starts effortlessly every time, idles smoothly, and runs like a dream. It’s an exceptional driver that feels great on the road, with solid acceleration and smooth gear shifts. In the video below, you can observe the car accelerating to about 60 mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to a stoplight, and going through curves with no issues. There are no vibrations, the car handles smoothly, and it performs exceptionally well. The brakes are responsive, and the car doesn’t pull to one side or the other. The engine runs cool and maintains great oil pressure, with no blue smoke at any time. The engine bay is clean, nicely detailed, and correct, as seen in the photos.
