The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz C107 SLC is the elegant hardtop version of the famous R107 SL roadster. The formula remains the same: a renowned robust engine, a clean style and a comfortable finish that make it a timeless grand tourer, while retaining the typical character of 1970s models. With its 2.8-litre inline six-cylinder, the 280 SLC is an appealing entry point into the C107 world, while offering the comfort and enjoyment expected of a Mercedes built for long journeys.

This German-origin example presents a rare blue on blue configuration. It retains its original Pullman velour upholstery, a particularly appealing feature for enthusiasts of the model. The bodywork has undergone a substantial restoration, documented by invoices and parts in the history file. The roof panel has also been replaced.

With its distinctive presentation, original interior and sky blue electric sunroof, this Mercedes is an appealing example of the SLC. The vendor advises that it drives and handles very well, while noting that servicing would be beneficial. A slight play in the steering has also been reported.
