Incredible condition. Unmarked and virtually as new throughout.
This truly stunning SLC is presented in a glorious period correct blue-green metallic with beige leather trim and has been subject to a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration by the foremost R107 specialists in Europe, the SLSHOP.
During the fully receipted restoration, the car was stripped back to a shell to deal with any rust and corrosion issues. The bulkhead was rectified with all new metal as were the floor pans, inner and outer sills, boot floor and front crossmember. The car comes with its all-important Bulkhead Certificate issued by the SLSHOP (February 2022). Every small imperfection that was found along the way was seen to, with all fabrication and rust repair done by the SLSHOP’s expert team in-house. Once the body was ready it was fully prepared and painted in Mercedes Blue Green metallic. The interior has been fully retrimmed in high quality beige leather to factory patterns together with new carpets – both in the cabin and within the boot area.
When putting this car back together, it was done with new parts where possible, meaning the exhaust system, braking, suspension (including all bushes) and throttle linkage is all new. Every clip that you look at is new. Every hose. It really is as close to a new car as you will find.
This was a good, low mileage and highly specified car to begin with and so includes air conditioning, electric sunroof, cruise control and a limited slip differential. The car sits on its original Mexican hat alloy wheels plus new Michelin tyres all round (including the spare). The 380SLC was only made in the final year of SLC production and the V8 develops 215BHP – only 20bhp down from the very rare 500SLC which replaced the 450SLC in the same year. This is very different from the US smog spec 380SL engine.
Overall, the invoices add up to around £85, 000 and it has to be the best SLC you will find.
