The R 107 and C 107 took the chassis components of the mid size Mercedes-Benz W 114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the W 116 S-Class. The SL version was a two-seater 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 subsequently it was renamed 450 SL/SLC.
This Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC was first registered on 4th June 1980. The car is finished in metallic green with contrasting leather interior and it presents as a very usable example. This car is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT certificate valid until 17th January 2019. The value of 107 shape Mercedes-Benz has strengthened considerably in recent years and the SLC is beginning to be recognised for the outstanding car that it is.
