Red one is my favourite of the two.

The red 450SEL does look in good condition from the photos.

How about this 1980 450 and it is the 4.5ltr V8 model?

Looks like a stock M117 - It's not a 6.9 if that is what you are asking.

Hello Bryce yes you are right.

People will pay top dollar for 10/10 cars. Personally I think to get a price like this it would need to have less than 100k on the clock, but we'll never really know the true selling price anyway as this is just an asking price.

Howd’y all well the 450SEL has been listed as sold that was quick!

Interesting to see if the car was sold anywhere near the advertised asking price?

500SL 107. In my view the best of the 107 SL's as the 560 looked over done with the various spoilers, 3rd brake light etc.

Car looks ok from the fairly poor quality pictures, although I would be assuming it hasn't actually done 38k from looking at things like wear on the seat etc.

Totally agree with you on the 500SL.
That’s a nice looking car, pity it has black interior.
It would have been stunning with a beige upholstery!

Russell ‘Rusty’ Crowe’s 2001 S500.

The car has actually been sold to a radio station in Sydney purchased for $34K.

$34K does seem top dollar for the car yes or no?

Yes. You're probably spending about $28k for the previous ownership and $6k for the car. Celebrities often don't maintain cars very well as its easy come easy go.

Red S1 W126 anyone?

$3900
Looks in decent shape for the price. Unusual to see a 380 with plastic hubcaps
