Sharing the same basic (R107) platform architecture as its convertible sibling, the Mercedes-Benz 450SLC Fixed Head coupe was introduced in 1972. A full four-seater, the model’s stretched wheelbase was disguised by various ingenious styling cues such as the louvred sail panels that adorned its rear three-quarter windows. Equipped with all round coil-sprung independent suspension, power steering and four wheel disc brakes, it proved a comfortable and refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes’ flagship coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins and a second place on the East African Safari.
Displaying some 63, 000 miles from new and finished in Silverblau with grey velour interior this SLC has had just four former keepers from new. Previously a category D insurance write off following a coming together with a stag (the deer variant not a Triumph!) it was subsequently repaired by the vendor who was a military engineer. Offered for sale with a history file and current Swansea V5C, it will be driven to the sale venue from Blackpool.
