1979 Mercedes-Benz SL 450 SLC review from North America
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door stuck open both sides at one time or another. Fixed with the use of a lock washer not included in the original configuration.
Under seat radiator.. had to wait for a German part.
The car was brought over from Germany by the executive, and some parts were different from those shipped for American markets.
General comments?
I love it.
