While the R107 is better known, the 107 fixed-roof coupe isn't a car to be sniffed that. Pillarless, sophisticated and carrying the same quintessentially retro styling that defined this era of Mercedes-Benz. If you're seeking one, of course, you'll want a perfectly balanced car - and we'd argue that's the 450SLC. Powered by the robust 4.5-litre V8 engine, these SLCs were more powerful, capable and impressive-sounding than their smaller-engined brethren.
This particular example is a genuine time capsule, having been owned by the same person since 1983 and stored since winter 1986 - a remarkable 39 years in storage. As a garage/barn find with just one former registered keeper, this 450 SLC presents a rare opportunity to acquire an original example that's now ready and waiting for a full restoration.
