1973 Mercedes-Benz SL 450 4.5 liter

Summary:

Fun summer time car!!!

Faults:

A/c not working - now repaired.

Heater either on or off - slide adjusters makes no difference.

Restarting warm engine tends to stall, but goes well after a few minutes of pampering.

General Comments:

California car is in mint/original condition after 35 yrs.

Cruises well at high speeds (85+mph). Excellant high end torque. Feels safe to pass at high speeds.

Handles very well on twisty roads. Feels comfortable.

Looks great standing still. Turns heads & thumbs-up from other drivers.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
