are âas they left the factory in West Germany, â with the interior described as being in âas-newâ condition, and with chassis components that may be original. The 450SL was powered in 1979 by Mercedes-Benzâs 4,520-cc OHC V-8. With a compression ratio of 8.8:1 and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, the engine was rated by the manufacturer at 215 horsepower when new.

to be stock and generally clean. The paint on this car is original and free of swirls, noting paint chips on one quarter panel as blemishes. The convertible roof and hardtop are said to function normally, without leaks.

The photos also show the carpeting presenting as being in like-new condition, with no visible soiling
or worn spots. The hardtop headliner is said to be in âas-newâ condition.
