The R 107 and C 107 took the chassis components of the mid size
Mercedes-Benz W 114 model and mated them to the larger engines from
the W 116 S-Class. The SL version was a two-seat roadster with
standard soft and hardtop with optional folding seats for the rear
bench. The SLC (C107) derivative was a two-door hardtop coupé with
normal rear seats. The SLC is commonly referred to as an 'SL
coupé'. but in reality it was an S-class coupé replacing the former
saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up. The SLC
was replaced earlier than the SL. in 1981. with a much larger
model. the 380 SEC based on the new S class. Sales in North America
began in 1972. with the name 350 SL. but with a larger 4. 5 litre. br/>V8 engine and was renamed 450 SL/SLC.

This Mercedes-Benz is in super condition and has been very well
cared for. The SLC is a car that drives exceedingly well and the
4520cc V8 engine is silky smooth in operation. The silver paintwork
has a good finish and the blue leather trim is virtually
unmarked.

This car is supplied with a V5C registration document and a
current MoT certificate together with some service history. The
value of 107 shape Mercedes-Benz has strengthened considerably in
recent years and the SLC is being recognised for the outstanding
car that it is.
