Quote 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL [R107]


A 1980 car in a film shot between February and April 1979?

RichardPercival USWhy are the mirrors painted matte black? I think all Production cars were chrome along with the rest of the brightwork. Was this something done by the filmakers to prevent difficult reflection in the camera lens, or some late 70s trend I don't know about? 2021-05-04 22:54
RichardPercival USYou can see in this shot behind him that the headrests have been removed for filming so the actors can be seen better in the car. The impact bumpers and whitewall tyres aren't to my taste, but I don't mind the American headlights which I believe were used on all the Rally cars (don't know if that was marketing as the car sold more than half of production in the US or because the sealed beams were quicker to fix during a race) I still prefer the clean Euro headlights overall though, as on ALL 60s/70s/80s Mercedes :) 2021-05-04 22:47

G-MANN UKWhat about the chrome bumpers? They were replaced with black rubber ones for the US market in 1973. 2013-08-04 01:42
night cub USI actually prefer the round headlights to the bug-eye Euro look. This one missiing it's headrests BTW. 2013-03-11 23:45
ingo DEThey are worst, but the ugly headlights and taillights have also their part. 2013-03-11 23:11

No. More ugly. These terribly looking US-spec conversions destroy absolutely and totally the classic design-lines. Inexcusable [:puke]
