THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1980 Benz is in presentable condition overall with a nice overall shine to the paint finish. Upon close inspection you will find a few corrosion bubbles along with various paint cracking areas, nicks, small scratches and scrapes and other cosmetic blemishes. The soft top is in excellent condition and the gold hardtop is also in very good original condition. Overall I would describe this car as a quite nice "ten-footer".

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this '80 450sl is in good condition overall with what looks to be original leather upholstery and carpets and nice headliner with expected wear and tear on the heat-cracking dash, wood, center console area and other trim bits. The horn, lights and blinkers function but the radio and right front window are both not operating currently. There is no a/c or heat as well.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This nearly 40 year-old Benz starts well with decent running engine that idles high, good shifting transmission and fairly solid straight braking and somewhat worn suspension components. There is a squealing sound from the engine as well.Check out the test drive video here:https://youtu.be/B9ZIircffuY
