Sharing the same basic (R107) platform architecture as its convertible sibling, the Mercedes-Benz 450SLC Fixed Head coupe was introduced in 1972. A full four-seater, the model's stretched wheelbase was disguised by various ingenious styling cues such as the louvered sail panels that adorned its rear three-quarter windows. Equipped with all round coil-sprung independent suspension, power steering and four wheel disc brakes, it proved a comfortable and refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of over 130mph in standard tune, Mercedes' flagship coupe enjoyed a highly successful second career as a rally car including two Bandama wins and a second place on the East African Safari.
A desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive example which was registered new on the 24th of March 1980, ‘EOL 676V’ is finished in the rare and desirable Thistle Green paintwork with Brown velour interior upholstery. Specified from new with cruise control, electric windows, electric sliding roof, 15-hole alloy wheels, headlight washing equipment, green windscreen tinting, and rear window heating, the 450 SLC is offered now having covered a warranted 83, 700 miles from new. Residing in the current registered ownership since 2016, ‘EOL 676V’ has had five former keepers. Supplied with a history file that contains the owner’s manual, stamped service book, a large collection of MOT certificates, and current V5C document, the SLC is also accompanied by two sets of keys, the jack, and warning triangle.
