1975 450SEL - burgundy - USA import LHD - daily-driveable - $14,500 - Earlwood

1975 W116 450SEL. Original Burgundy Metallic (DB512) over palomino MB-Tex. M117 4.5L V8, 3-speed auto. 142,000 km.

Bought from the original owner's estate in 2009 (Greek-Australian family in Earlwood, the patriarch passed and the family wanted the car to go to another Greek-Australian). USA import, so yes left hand drive. Original everything: paint, interior, drivetrain. Documented service history from 1975 to 2007.

I've owned and daily-driven this car for 5 years. Original radio still works (the Becker Mexico cassette plays Greek classics fine). Original air-con (R12 system, just topped up by Patrick at Lindfield).

More photos by PM. not putting the estate folder up public, family asked me not to.

Selling because I'm taking on the forum's full-time administration role and I don't have time for a 1975 V8 commute anymore. $14,500 ono. Pickup Earlwood.

Boonie - im sure. The forum needs more of my time and the W203 will be enough for the work commute. The 450SEL deserves a custodian who'll drive it every day, not someone who has it sitting more than running.
