The Mercedes SLC coupes are getting harder to find and are firmly on the radar as rising collectables. This 450 SLC is a well-looked-after, long-term family-owned example that has been driven and enjoyed rather than parked and forgotten, and it shows all the signs of careful use over the years.

Finished in classic silver over grey, it still rides on its original “Mexican hat” alloy wheels, which really suit the shape. The 4.5L V8 pulls strongly and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly, delivering that relaxed, grand-touring feel the R107 is known for. A nice bonus on this car is the factory sunroof, adding to the appeal and usability.

It’s an ideal candidate for a rolling restoration – a solid, usable V8 coupe you can drive and enjoy now while steadily taking it to the next level. With SLC values on the rise and good cars getting thin on the ground, this honest, usable V8 coupe is a smart buy for the Mercedes enthusiast who wants something a little different from the usual SL roadster.
