  • Delivered new to Belgium
  • 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC Sunroof Coupé
  • Rare manual transmission example
  • Three owners from new
  • Only 78,000 kilometres recorded
  • Highly original and unmolested
  • All books and tools

Introduced in 1971, the all-new, V8-engined 350SL was the first of a series intended as replacements for the popular 230/250/280 SL family. Like its forebears, the newcomer was more sports-tourer than outright sports car and came equipped with all-independent suspension similar to that of the New Generation 200/250 models, featuring semi-trailing arms at the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated at the front) helped restrain the 200km/h-plus performance. A larger-engined model - the 450 SL - soon followed, but it would be another three years before the 280 SL/SLC returned to the range.

Mechanically almost identical to its larger siblings, the new version had the same 2.8-litre, twin-overhead-camshaft engine as the other 280s, producing 185bhp in the SL/SLC, an output good enough for a top speed of 204km/h.

This rare 280 SLC was purchased new by a lady customer in Flanders, having been delivered new to Garage Vereenooghe in Belgium, and was serviced for the first time in September 1979 at only 1,240 kilometres. It was ordered with the optional sunroof, manual transmission, and 'carreaux' (tiles) interior', reflecting the lady's good taste. She passed the car on to her son-in-law and then the current owner bought it many years ago. Highly original and unmolested, this rare and desirable modern Mercedes is offered with Belgian registration papers, all books and tools, spare keys, and even the original datakart in the back of the service book.

Livrée neuve en Belgique

Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC coupé avec toit ouvrant 1979

Châssis n° WDB107.022.10.007357

  • Rare exemplaire à transmission manuelle
  • Trois propriétaires seulement
  • Seulement 78 000 kilomètres d'origine
  • Modèle intact et largement d'origine
  • Avec tous ses livrets et sa trousse à outils Dévoilée en 1971, la toute nouvelle 350 SL à moteur V8 était la première d'une série destinée à remplacer la populaire famille des 230/250/280 SL. Comme ses devancières, la nouvelle venue tenait plus de la Grand Tourisme que de la sportive pure et dure et était équipée d'une suspension à roues indépendantes similaire à celle de la nouvelle génération de modèles 200/250, faisant appel à des bras oscillants à l'arrière. Des freins à disque aux quatre roues (ventilés à l'avant) aidaient à maîtriser les performances de plus de 200 km/h.

Une version à moteur plus puissant - la 450 SL – suivit rapidement, mais il fallut attendre trois années avant que les 280 SL/SLC intègrent la gamme. Mécaniquement presque identiques à leurs sœurs plus puissantes, les nouvelles versions recevaient le même moteur à doubles arbres à cames en tête 2,8 litres que les autres 280, développant 185 ch sur les SL/SLC, une puissance suffisante pour une vitesse de pointe de 204 km/h.

Cette rare 280 SLC a été achetée par une cliente des Flandres et a été livrée neuve au Garage Vereenooghe en Belgique, entretenue pour la première fois en septembre 1979 avec seulement 1 240 kilomètres au compteur. Elle a été commandée avec le toit ouvrant en option, la transmission manuelle et l'intérieur à carreaux, reflétant le bon goût de la cliente. Elle passa la voiture à son gendre et l'actuel propriétaire l'acheta il y a maintenant de nombreuses années. Hautement originale et intacte, cette rare et séduisante Mercedes moderne est vendue avec ses papiers d'immatriculation belge, tous ses livrets et sa trousse à outil, sa clé de secours et même sa datakart d'origine au dos du carnet d'entretien.
