Mercedes 380SLC | #SOLD

The R107 and C107 Mercedes-Benz SL variants have long been revered amongst classic car devotees, being built to exacting engineering standards and with a subtle air of sophistication. These cars were built from 1971 through to 1989, the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz after the G-Class. The SLC (C107) or ‘SL Coupé’ derivative, was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats. It was launched at the Paris Motor Show and signalled a shift in management thinking at Stuttgart about what made a successful luxury coupé. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek two-door car that combined the seating advantages of a four-door saloon with the style of a sporty coupé. With the exception of the SL65 AMG Black Series, the SLC remains the only fixed roof Mercedes-Benz coupe based on a roadster rather than a sedan.

This 380 SLC presents in very good order throughout, the 3.8L V8 engine, producing 215 HP runs smoothly and efficiently. The metallic black coachwork is in good condition except for some small blemishes and the black leather interior is largely unmarked. Originally registered on August 1981, this Mercedes-Benz has only six previous keepers and the current owner bought the car in 2012. Supplied with maintenance documents since 2006 and a valid registration. These attractive SLCs are becoming recognised as an underrated 80’s classic with good examples changing hands at ever increasing prices similar to the equivalent roadster.

The appearance of the sports coupe presented in 1971 was style-defining for the design of Mercedes-Benz in the 70s. The success of the C107 series was not only due to their style, their low weight, and high-performance character has given the Mercedes-Benz C107 SLC numerous international rallies top finishes.
