1973 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 4.5

Description

Here is an extremely rare 1973 Mercedes Benz 300SEL 4.5 finished in the classic combination of Silver paintwork with Deep Red leather interior. The car is a wonder to drive and beautiful to look at. This has been part of my small collection for almost a year but sadly personal circumstances have changed and must part company with my treasures. The car has an excellent older repaint which is simply superb with straight bodywork and almost flawless paintwork and the leather seats have a wonderful aged patina with some cracking. The engine starts right up and runs super-smooth, transmission glides and changes effortlessly. The steering is tight with no play and the suspension operating correctly with no sagging having been rebuilt by renowned restoration experts Buds Benz. The odometer works correctly and shows 55K miles. All woods are in great condition as is the light-gray headliner and dark red carpeting. The car is fitted with power windows and original cold-blowing air conditioner. The sliding heat controls have been replaced with new fittings (an expensive process as most of you know) and all dashboard lights replaced and in operating order. The Becker Grand Prix radio was removed and sent to Becker for rebuilding and works as new. The chromework is good with some of the window surround trim starting to fade a little. This is a beautiful rust-free example with solid underbody and trunk well with spare wheel, jack and tool-set, books and manuals. Fitted with like-new Bundt wheels and new tyres and sold with the original metal hub caps should the new owner wish to change back to the original spec.
