The 450SL arrived here in 1973, along with U.S.-spec bumpers that joined the twin sealed-beam headlamps in marring the good looks of the European version of the car. Like the previous SL, it had a standard removable hardtop that could, with the aid of another person or an optional garage-mounted winch, be removed and stowed in a special rack. A canvas top was stowed under a hard tonneau cover and could be erected fairly easily, locking and unlocking with the same tool used to secure the hardtop. This pretty little 450sl convertiable has had just about everything under the hood replaced. All brake lines, pads, drums, rotors, done. All new tires, Full Injectors, Fuel Pump, and more, all interior features work as they should, avaliable Hard Top is there but does not match car color. If you need any other quiestions just call.
