  • On this episode of SPTV, I get my hands on a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. This is probably the classiest rectangle I've ever driven. Is it super fast on its feet or just a big 'ole love boat? Find out on this week's episode!

    Best car ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Produced from 1971 to 1989. Another TV show where it was seen was Hart to Hart (Jennifer's car) and yes, the new Mercedes have much more technology but maybe not more luxury (unless you like plastic). Thanks for the video!

    The poodle in the background is outstanding.

    Liked your review- a couple of things: the high mounted light wasn't required until the late 80's. A lot of SL owners put it on so their cars at 50paces would look like the new model. The American cars did have the 4 sealed beam headlights because of US rules. They also had the bigger bumpers because the US at the time required ones that could hit something at 5MPH without damage. The SL didn't come with backseats: there were optional "kinder seats" that you could order (that were pretty useless) The front speakers were the only ones that came with the car, and no, they weren't very good. And not only by modern standards were the cars slow, but they got crap gas mileage: 14 city and 18 highway if you were lucky.
    But when you're Wonder Woman or Jennifer Hart you don't care about that..
    Look forward to watching more!

      Same ! Except mine had a W115 and then a W123. I want to convert a W115 to electric (as soon as I can afford it)

    The top is actually very easy to put down. I can put my soft top down in about 20 seconds or less

    Do I really have to be a gay or girlie to like this car, tho 🤣🤣
    I'm straight AF and I LOVE that car. I don't care if it is an old man car, either. Old soul here. So smooth.
