Mercedes-Benz SLC 450

This is a 1974 Mercedes-Benz SLC, the long-wheelbase four-seat coupe version of the R107 SL. The listing is headed 420, but the text describes a 450SLC with the 4.5-litre V8, which matches the 4,520cc engine size shown and the model's period. It is listed as 225 bhp, with a three-speed automatic gearbox, even though the spec panel says manual.

It is finished in metallic blue with a parchment leather interior and has central locking, electric windows and tinted glass. It has covered about 106,000 miles with seven owners from new. The last keeper owned it for 26 years, and the book has 18 service stamps. Eight old MOTs show the mileage climbing from 81,145 in 1982. A substantial overhaul in 1993 included new sills and brakes. The factory data card, radio booklet and a Haynes manual come with it.

The car has just come out of storage and needs restoration, although the engine is said to run well. It is sold as a project and has a transferable private plate, UJG 54, which is not the car's registration.
