Original owner "Bought new in 1975, Mercedes 450SL" We found this car last summer in late August. It was sold to me by the original owner a Retired surgeon who has been regularly driving and maintaining the car for the last 40 years. Because i am an automobile enthusiast, i could not pass up on such a rare specimen. I purchased the Mercedes from the good Dr. who showed me the original window sticker and told me he "Bought it new in 1975" (40 years ago!). The Dr only drove approximately 8 miles each way to work everyday. Due to a decline in his health he is unable to drive any longer and did not wish the car go south because of non-operation. He felt better knowing that i would maintain the integrity of this fine automobile. I would not hesitate to drive this legendary touring roadster across our country tomorrow. (it would truly be a pleasure.) I had to make a deal with my wife to sell the SL because i bought a low mile Porsche 911...but if no one bids, then i will have lived up to my part! LOL She has had one repaint and still shines and turns heads. This is a great car and i hope that someone who appreciates the history and opportunity of keeping good care of this VERY original low mile car. Feel free to email me your telephone number and i will give you a call between 9am - 9pm P.S.T.
