A highly original and well-preserved example for its age
Rare 450 model with M117 V8 engine
Sliding steel sunroof as factory option
The Plus
Although visually similar to the immensely popular R107 SL cabriolet, the SLC coupé features a longer wheelbase, higher roof and real rear seats, making it a more practical alternative. It has also shone on rally circuits, notably with its 5.0-litre versions, which have won several competitions with drivers such as Hannu Mikkola and Andrew Cowan.
This 1980 model appears to be in very good condition for its age, while remaining highly original. Its superb colour highlights the elegant lines of this coupé, and the whole is carefully presented, ready to seduce its next owner.
These days, SLCs are hard to come by, especially the V8-powered versions. This 450SLC is therefore a rare opportunity to be carefully considered.IMG_4209.jpeg3.12 MB
