1978 Mercedes-Benz SL 450 SLC review from North America
"The Mercedes 450 SLC, is an extraordinary driving experience for experienced drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had the 450 SLC Mercedes for a week. Thus far, nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
This is the first vehicle I have owned (some 25 vehicles over fifty-four years), that left me refreshed and invigorated after a thousand mile drive. An absolute dream to drive.
