1976 MERCEDES-BENZ 450 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 formed part of the R107/C107 range built between 1971 and 1989, offering the rigidity and long-wheelbase stability that made it an unlikely but successful rally contender in period

Finished in Metallic Blue, this example is presented in very good condition with Recaro leather bucket seats, TRS harnesses, Cibie spotlights and rally trip meters fitted for competition use

Powered by Mercedes’ dependable 4,520cc M117 V8 engine paired with an automatic gearbox, delivering smooth and flexible performance well suited to long distance rallying

Enhanced with upgraded suspension and detailed rally preparation to RPS-specification. The original seats are included with the sale

Originally supplied to Canada before being imported to the UK pre-COVID by RPS, who reconditioned the engine and differential prior to registering the car in the UK

Used sparingly since, including participation in Bespoke Rallies’ Sultans Trail event, this well-sorted 450 SLC offers reliability, comfort and endurance credentials ideal for Rally the Globe, Classic Rallies or Bespoke Rallies events
