Description

Year: 1979 Make: Mercedes-Benz Model: 450 SLC Registration: DYM 303V

Chassis No: 10702422028533

Engine No: 11798522047221

Odometer: 93,000 The R107 and C107 took the chassis components of the mid-size Mercedes-Benz W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the W116 S-Class.

The SL version was a two-seat roadster with standard soft and hardtop with optional folding seats for the rear bench.

The SLC (C107) derivative was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats.

The SLC is commonly referred to as an 'SL coupé', but in reality it was an S-class coupé replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up.

The SLC was replaced earlier than the SL, in 1981, with a much larger model, the 380 SEC based on the new S Class.

Sales in North America began in 1972, with the name 350 SL, but with a larger 4.5 litre, V8 engine and were renamed 450 SL/SLC.

First registered on 6 th November 1979, the 450 SLC offered here stands out from the crowd.
