Description
This time warp 16941 mile 450 SL TWO TOP ROADSTER has been with the same family since new with only two people that have driven the car. The car was sold to the family as an investment as the Mercedes Benz salesman told them Mercedes Benz was not going to make convertibles and this would make a good investment. The family treated it as an investment, they kept the car in a climate controlled garage and obviously seldom used it. The only man other than the purchasing Patriarch of the family to drive the car was the son. He stated to me that the car was started regularly, run to operating temperature driven around the property a bit ,put back in garage and covered up.
The chronological service tickets support the lack of mileage thru the years with the car regularly maintained. The car comes with all books ,manuals, service tickets ,tool roll still in its original plastic sleeve. Spare tire is the original, it has never been on the ground.
The car has no rust as it has never been driven in anything but fair weather .The car has never been in an accident or in need of a paint gun. The interior is still as new with full seats ,nice carpets, original radio, no cracks on the dash. The gauges are crisp, clean and work as designed. All systems work properly. Keep in mind that even though the car did not have miles put on it, the car was looked after by a local shop with regularity. The original soft top is still as new.
