On the initiative of the in-house development engineer Erich Waxenberger a sporty version of the C107 showed up in 1978: alloy hoods, reinforced automatic gearbox, new and lighter alloy V8 with 240 hp as well as front and rear spoiler were attributes of the 450 SLC 5.0, that should proove its talents soon on long distance rallyes all over the world.

Produced in only 1615 units a real 5.0 is a hard find nowadays. The car offered here is an early example (construction no. 90) that was delivered in Germany when new, driven in the USA (Texas) later and reimported to Europe in 2008. Due to the dry climate the car has a sound bodywork even today. In 2009 the SLC received a bare metal respray in its genuine gold metal (419) that contrasts perfect to its dark blue interior, but shows some signs of age now.

Due to a leak in the engine block the genuine engine is currently replaced by a 4,5 liter unit - but still available so that the car can be brought back to matching numbers! True MB rarity in 70´s colors! Mileage according to odometer.
