1979 MERCEDES SLC

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025 on Sunday the 9th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.

The 450 SLC was introduced in 1972 as the range-topping model in Mercedes-Benz' C107 line, combining sporting intent with grand touring luxury and quickly establishing itself as one of the marque’s most desirable coupés

Built in 1979, this example was UK-registered in 1981 and has had just two previous keepers. In current ownership since 2017 it has been in professional storage since with little to no use

Finished in Brilliant Red Metallic (525) over a black leather interior (201) with Burr wood inlays on the centre console and dashboard, presented on its period correct 14" ‘Bundt’ alloy wheels

Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8 producing around 222bhp and 167kW, driving the rear wheels through a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission for effortless cruising

Offered with its V5C registration document and available for close inspection

Presents attractively in its factory colour combination, indicative of careful ownership and light use. An excellent opportunity to acquire a stylish and capable Mercedes-Benz grand tourer
