Launched in 1971, the R107 series had an impressive 18-year production run and has become one of the most iconic Mercedes coupes of all time. The 450 SLC version has a longer wheelbase and hardtop, designed specifically for long-distance, comfortable cruising while retaining the driving dynamics of the legendary SL.
This 1978 example is powered by a 4. 5-litre V8 engine that produces 225bhp and delivers a smooth, refined driving experience. One of the highlights of the R107 is that it was the first Mercedes to be fitted with a safety passenger cell and reinforced bodywork, setting a new benchmark in its class for protection.
The 450 SLC was not only king of the road, it also made its mark in motorsport. Its rally version competed successfully in the toughest off-road races of the late 1970s. Nearly 50 years later, the R107 remains the highlight of classic racing, especially the SLC version with its distinctive character. This particular example survives in its original condition, with a plush brown interior and factory extras. As these cars become increasingly rare, their value continues to rise, making this not only a fantastic car but also a smart investment.
