Here's a couple pics of my 77 450 SEL. 124,000 miles. Two owner car (including me). Originally owned by a medical doc who was meticulous in both his maintenance and his record-keeping. I picked the car up for a song on ebay - sight unseen - figuring I could get my $$$ back if I found too many problems. But she turned out to be a keeper. I've never had a Benz before, frankly never really wanted one; but I LOVE this car's magnificent ride quality.

Nutz, it didnt leave AMG like that in 1978; BUT when I'm ginished it will be a complete and exact replica using genuine original AMG parts - so, in my view its a genuine AMG (ie does it matter who and when AMG parts were fitted, as long as they are genuine?).

Okay, I'm new here and this is my first post so I hope I do this right. I bought my first Mercedes - a 1975 280S about six months ago. She has classic plates and needs restoring. I drive her very little. My daily driver, which I've only owned for a month, is a '79 450SEL. I love this car. It's like driving a very fast pillow. Very little needs to be done to her mechanically. Paint is the #1 priority on this one!
