Highlights
- Rare 3.5L V8 coupe with manual gearbox
- Interesting restoration opportunity
- Largely complete car to complete to your own spec
- Supplied with correct documentation according to seller
The Appeal
The C107 coupe added extra length to the roadster’s wheelbase to deliver a proper 4 seat GT. Borrowing all the well-known qualities of the convertible, these high quality, very comfortable cars make great touring classics.
This V8-engined 350SLC was first registered in April 1981 and is finished in burgundy metallic with a black leather cabin. It is said to be largely complete but is sold as a non-running restoration project. It is a rare car too because it is fitted with the 4spd manual box.
The vendor tells us that the car is sold with correct documentation. For the right buyer this looks like an interesting project that can be completed to your precise specification.
