1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SLC C107 V8. Rare with low Mileage and great history..

THIS ADVERT IS FOR ANYONE WISHING TO REGISTER INTEREST ONLY CURRENTLY AS THIS CAR CANNOT BE RELEASED UNTIL WEEK COMMENCING 4th OCTOBER. A fantastic investment opportunity has arisen in this adorable rare 1978 Mercedes Benz C107 450 SLC.Finished in metallic Milan Braun with only 72760 miles from new.If you know old Mercs of this era, you'll know that with this mileage it's barely run in and this one is backed up by a huge file containing a great service history, lots of MBOC authentication with all original books and recently officially homologated by Mercedes Benz owners club and Mercedes Benz of Stuttgart with proof.10 months M.O.T (even though not required), tax free, Full MB history from new until the early-mid 2000s by Mercedes Benz of Southend and Romford in Essex, then stored until lockdown with some issues recently addressed. Currently it is awaiting some new floor carpet fitting.There's no issue with the battery tray area, inner wings or subframe, it's solid, it's had some welding done and some paint correction... it pops well! Naturally there a few usual component surface defects but nothing sinister and certainly nothing that screams out or takes attention away from it's generally beauty.Palomino trimmed time warp cloth interior features fully working period push n twist stereo, central locking, Clifford alarm, 4 x electric windows, electric sunroof and electric aerial. There are zero dash/veneer cracks.Chrome is generally good and there are no nasty visual bumper blisters, have receipts for bumper replacements.Timeless Fuchs 'Mexican hat' alloy wheels are good with 4 new matching Good Year GT 2 tyres.This is a proper sleeper, a 43 year old iconic antique GT coupe that oozes the grandeur of 70's class and style, quintessentially matched colour-wise in a cocktail of Cognac and Caramel, it receives admiration everywhere it goes.Everything condition wise be it mechanical, structural or aesthetically has been taken in to consideration inline with current national and international market trends and is therefore priced accordingly ...i'm not going to claim that this car is a concourse show car (yet), but a turn-key classic in good condition that can be enjoyed effortlessly, it could be improved on by way of a very small interior trim and maybe a few rubber seals if desired for a very small amount of money, but is ready to mingle 'as is'. Please note: new passenger side NOS headlamp wiper has been fitted since photos were taken.Drives with precision, makes phenomenal power and is one of them cars you just can't wait to drive.After spending the best part of a month sorting this car, I've just returned from doing some filming for a classic car YouTube channel that is set for release in early November. A full body detail was carried out prior to this using only premium #poorboys products. Currently it remains garaged, there are zero oil leaks and it's run every day.There are very few of these right hand drive models registered now in the UK, last look this month showed only 130. Being more rare than the similar R107 SL it's an extremely fast rising investment being offered for sale here much cheaper than many on the European market currently with this mileage and authenticity.Not really in a rush to sell but could ultimately do with the space, please don't ask for a detailed walk round video, I simply don't have the time, if you're genuinely interested I'm sure you'll come and have a look.Make an offer by all means but please don't be silly as low ball offers will be ignored/declined.£16750 O.N.O - THIS IS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF A SHOW CAR - check out prices of these globally!No 'best price'?...I won't reply.Payment to be made by bank transfer only upon collection.This account has a proud 100% feedback score spanning 15 years and we wish to maintain that. With a portfolio of trading many top Mercedes marques I'm offering this lovely 450 for sale to genuine buyers, it can be viewed at my home address near Maldon in Essex approximately 30 minutes from M25 London. Parties of more than two wishing to view will be turned away - sorry.Thank you for looking.
