The seller offers for sale a 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350 SLC, a coupe with two doors, automatic transmission and a 3.5-litre V8 petrol engine. This car was originally delivered new in the Netherlands and has been recently maintained with a large service including new filters, fluids, spark plugs, brake pads front and rear, two new front tyres, and many renewed components such as a heater motor, alternator, regulator, battery, and propeller shaft bearing. The front seats have been rebuilt with new padding, the sunroof received new seals, and a retro radio has been installed. The car starts without issue, runs cleanly with no smoke, and the gearbox shifts smoothly without unusual noises. Power steering and disc brakes provide confident driving, while the car has no accident history. Minor cosmetic rust spots are noted, but the car presents as a solid and attractive classic coupe.
The Mercedes-Benz 350 SLC belongs to the celebrated C107 series, produced between 1971 and 1981. Distinguished from the SL roadster by its longer wheelbase and fixed roof, the SLC offered refined grand touring comfort with room for four. These coupes combined elegant styling with Mercedes’ reputation for durability and were popular among buyers seeking a luxurious yet sporty drive. The 3.5-litre V8 engine delivered smooth performance, and the automatic gearbox made it an effortless long-distance cruiser. Today, the SLC enjoys recognition as a stylish and accessible entry into the world of classic Mercedes-Benz, appealing to enthusiasts who value comfort, reliability, and timeless design.
