Mercedes 450SLC C107, 1980

This C107-generation Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC is a refined V8-powered grand tourer, finished in a period-appropriate colour combination.
It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8, delivering 222bhp and 278lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
The odometer reads 16,038 miles, and the seller notes that a replacement unit was fitted at 50,000 miles, making the total distance covered around 66,038 miles, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

The car is finished in Manganese Brown over a beige velour-trimmed cabin.
It rides on a set of retrofitted 14-inch steel wheels, fitted with chrome and body-coloured covers as well as Falken tyres.
Equipment includes a sunroof, electric front and rear windows, cruise control, and a Becker Traffic Pro stereo.
Rockford Fosgate speakers have been fitted.
Accompanying the sale is the owner’s handbook, service history, various historic MOT test certificates and service invoices, and the original ‘Bundt’ alloy wheels.

CONDITION

Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
Specific notes from the seller include: small bubbles in the bonnet and on the front wheel arch, wear on the driver’s seat bolster, ‘darkening’ on the front seats, and a few small holes in the headlining as shown in the pictures.

The C107-era Mercedes-Benz SLC is a lesser-seen grand touring coupe, designed alongside the more commonly seen R107-era SL convertible but featuring a longer wheelbase and coupe bodywork. This example is equipped with the muscular 4.5-litre V8, and is finished in a period-appropriate colour combination which includes a rare velour-trimmed cabin. Whilst the new owner may wish to carry out a routine service based on time elapsed since its last maintenance, it would make a natural addition to any collection as well as a stylish and refined weekend cruiser or long-distance touring companion for any marque connoisseur.
