AI Listing Summary

This 1970s Mercedes-Benz 450SLC, a rare four-seater coupe, has had only four owners and shows approximately 63,000 miles. It was previously a Category D insurance write-off after an incident with a deer, but was repaired by the current owner, a military engineer. The car comes with a history file and V5C.

Condition

The car was previously a category D insurance write-off due to damage from an incident with a stag. While it was subsequently repaired by the vendor, this history indicates significant prior damage that would require substantial reconditioning to bring it to a higher standard. The description also mentions the car will be driven to the sale, suggesting it is mechanically functional but doesn't explicitly state its current cosmetic or mechanical perfection.

Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque.

Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes’ flagship coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins and a second place on the East African Safari....
