1979 Mercedes-Benz W107 450 review from North America
"Wonderful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am looking for a vacuum diagram for my Mercedes Benz 450SLC. model year 1979 engine M114 chassis 024. Power steering central locking, Auto climate control. Does anyone know where I can get such a diagram?
General comments?
The 1979 450SLC is perhaps one of the one enjoyable cars I have ever owned. In some ways I enjoy driving it more the my 99 C280. For just this reason. You have to drive the 450, the C280 is very comfortable, quick and solid and reliable. But it is a modern car with all the air bags, traction and stability controls, drive by wire this and that. you point and go with the C280.
