Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL - ex Françoise Sagan
French registration - Famous owner - Customized interior - Immortalized in her novel - No reserve The car presented has covered a total of 130,000km on the clock. Its famous owner bought the car as a used car in 1982, and in fact it seems that the seller had put the 6.9 logo. We do not know if the writer was fooled by the deception. The seats and doors are covered with tan leather of very good quality. This is a Mercedes equipped with dual rear-view mirror so that the passenger can check as to who is following. This was a popular option for personalities. It is equipped with heated seats at the front and at the rear and it has a sunroof. The car presented belonged to the famous French writer Françoise Sagan. A copy of the registration card in her name attests so (Françoise Quoirez was her real name), and the address is 73, rue de Lille, 75007 Paris. The next owner was none other than Bernard Bronquard, a loyal friend of Francoise Sagan who, following the many worry that the writer had with the tax authorities, acquired the Mercedes from Françoise, when most of her properties were seized and then auctioned in the early 2000s. He then "loaned" his Mercedes to her till the end (the registration still carried her name). This car has been immortalized in the biography of Françoise Sagan by Marie-Dominique Lelièvre, entitled "A Full Speed" and in "Sagan and Son " by Denis Westhoff. Driving fast was a passion for Sagan and in the late 1970s she exchanged her sports cars for fast saloons, which she was driving fast anyways, but more comfortably and in greater safety. The novelist drove for more than 15 years this Mercedes, which was nicknamed "the tank." Francoise Sagan, in her work and lifestyle, was and will remain an icon in the second part of the 20th century, and this 450 SEL will also, hopefully
