1980 Mercedes Benz 450sl - 36,000 Original Miles, Fully Documented 2 Owner Car on 2040-cars
Year:1980
Mileage:36674
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is our beautiful, fully documented 36,000 original mile, two owner 1980 Mercedes 450SL finished in its original factory Classic
White over its original black leather interior. R107 bodied SLs were the car to
have in the 1970s and 1980s and with their incredibly high build quality and iconic
styling, it’s easy to understand why. It’s for those same reasons that they’ve
become appreciating classic decades later, probably the last regular production
Mercedes model to ever achieve collector car status. Finding well-maintained
original examples is becoming more and more difficult and this car represents
an excellent opportunity at acquiring a beautiful and exceptionally low mileage roadster with well documented service history, original books and
manuals, all of its original keys, a folder full of receipts, the original
first aid kit and the original tool kit. Having only had two doting owners,
it has always been garaged and exceptionally well maintained and was always used
as a weekend driver. The car presents impeccably in Classic White (Mercedes Paint Code DB 737), marred only by minor imperfections acquired during the car’s 32+ years of faithful service, each too insignificant to show up in any of the pictures. All of the panel fits are factory perfect, the glass and rubber are in excellent condition and the chrome is gorgeous. The aluminum wheels are flawless and wrapped in Michelin tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s original interior is like new. The black leather seats are impeccable, the dash and interior panels are excellent and the carpets show no wear whatsoever. The black canvas soft top is original and in great shape with a clear rear window and the hardtop is excellent as well, hardly ever used from new. The car has its original working Becker Europa II radio as well as working air conditioning. The car's two original owners have taken great pride in ownership over the past 34 years, and it shows. As we mentioned above, the original 450SL has always been well
maintained, which is immediately evident upon getting behind the wheel. Far
more reliable than the 380SL engine that followed, the torquey 4.5L V8 starts
without any smoke, idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly through
all of the gears. Whether tooling around town, cruising down Highway 1 or
bombing down the Autobahn at 120MPH, the car is a joy to drive – smooth,
comfortable and, above all else, possessing the tightness and rock-solid
stability that Mercedes was known for. The car comes with its original books
and manuals, all of the original keys, a folder full of receipts, the original
first aid kit and the original tool kit. If
you’ve been looking for a solid original, well documented, strong running, low
mileage R107 bodied SL, this car deserves your serious consideration. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Mercedes (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier
Mon, Oct 26 2015Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.

Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
