1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Petrol Manual

Description

The R107 has firmly cemented itself as a favourite amongst collectors and those looking for a thoroughly good and usable classic roadster with great looks, golden era Mercedes reliability and solid, fun mile munching capability. If you like the idea of an R107 but are hesitant on the idea of a convertible, then the C107 SLC provides all of the good parts of the iconic SL but in a more solid, arguably smarter hardtop coupe package.

This 1980 SLC has a great deal going for it. On top of the general rarity and cool factor that comes with the SLC nameplate, this particular car boasts a rare brown and tan colour scheme, iconic 4.5 litre V8 engine, and eligibility for tax, MOT and ULEZ exemption. These 107s are becoming incredibly popular as usable every day classics and this rare brown number holds great potential to become one such car.

The car can be considered fundamentally OK from an aesthetic perspective. The lesser seen dark brown hue is certainly striking, especially paired with the tan brown interior. Cosmetically the car is well but not perfect, with signs of blemishing, age related marking and a little bit of bubbling making itself known in places, however it is arguably usable in its current form. The interior is OK and presents in largely original form, with some more notable wear to the rear seat cushioning.

Mechanically the car seems to be in good form. It has been used sparingly in recent years however we have taken it for a short test drive and it performed well; starting, running, changing gear, driving and stopping.

Accompanied by V5 doc, old MOT certificates and a few invoices for maintenance and repair work.

Terms and Conditions:
All our vehicles are available for viewing and examination before
purchase.

A distance buyer is requested to pay a £500 non-refundable holding
deposit via PayPal or Bank Transfer.

Due to the very nature of older vehicles and their vulnerability to
long-term storage, all our vehicles are sold as unroadworthy and should
not be driven on the public highway until fixed and made roadworthy
(whether showing a current MOT certificate or not).

By agreeing to purchase a vehicle from us, you accept and understand
that using this vehicle on the roads in GB would be unlawful in its
present condition, and that it will not be used on the roads in GB until
it has been put into a lawful condition.

For the reasons mentioned above, all vehicles bought from us must be
trailered away. We can assist all buyers with this request via a very
well-trusted third-party company we use regularly.

All vehicles remain the property of Classic Cars and Campers Ltd until
paid for in full.

Returns Policy

All vehicles bought from us from a distance will qualify for a 14-day
cancellation policy. From the total reimbursement amount, the £500
non-refundable holding deposit will be deducted (to cover our reasonably
incurred costs and losses) and a reasonable figure for any diminished
value. The buyer is responsible for the return cost and all damage
whilst in their possession.

If the sale is concluded on our premises, then the 14-day cancellation
policy does not apply.

If you have any queries on any of the above, please feel free to contact
us via any means to clarify our position.
