Sold new in Carlsbad, CA. by Hoehn Motors-Mercedes Benz. Final model year USA 450SL Just arrived in this rare color scheme, Thistle Green over Cream. Beautiful looks and extensive service history. We have a 3 ring folder full of records, spanning 4 decades back to new purchase in 1980, that has been preserved through prior ownership.

Paint shows bright shine and luster. A good quality respray was conducted by prior ownership in the factory color. A nice alternative to your typical colors, Thistle Green is impressive to the eye.

All orignal MB glass. The brightwork shows well with a few close up nicks.

A cream interior is an excellent contrast inside the cabin. We installed new OEM replacement MB-Tex seats in matching cream (235). Additionally, we had the seats fully refurbished including rebuilt springs and new padding. The original dash-pad shows no damage. The wood still has nice deep color and presents well. Door cards look to be in excellent condition. The matching lighter cream stock carpet shows well.

The original Becker AM/FM radio with cassette player is currently not working. We will try and source the issue.

The AC is not currently operating and will be checked further.

The brown soft top was replaced according to records in 2001. The canvas shows very well as it appears to have been sparsely used.

Still wearing the factory issued 14 inch Bundt style alloy wheels in nice condition. Newer correctly sized BF Goodrich tires showing negligible wear.

Tidy trunk area, light color original carpet is good. Spare tire well storage area is very clean.

Full Handbooks, data card and build sheet. 2 original keys including valet key.
