Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC 1977 Attractive four-seater coupe; Sensible balance between low engine weight and performance; Preserved in great condition; Engine: 2.8-litre, I6; Power: 185 break horsepower; Other: automatic gearbox, rear-wheel drive; Legal status: registered in Poland Chassis number: 10702212003581 VEHICLE HISTORY: The Mercedes 280 SLC offered by Ardor Auctions has quite an interesting story behind it. It was imported to Poland already in 1990s and for almost 20 years it remained in the hands of one owner. The Mercedes was driven occasionally and was never used in snowy conditions - a set of unused winter tires is an evidence to support that. Despite this, it underwent maintenance and servicing on a regular basis, which is why it needs no inspection or repairs. The car is preserved in its original condition and has never been restored. Some elements were meticulously cleaned and refreshed, interior trim professionally detailed and preserved. The only modifications include a wooden Nardi steering wheel and incredibly attractive Penta wheels, which add some character to the car. The two-door codenamed R107 is an incredibly interesting alternative to classic Mercedes roadsters. It will comfortably accommodate four passengers and has some intriguing styling cues, such as unusual "gills" next to side window. Its light six-cylinder engine delivers decent performance and lower running costs compared to full-fat V8s. White paint makes this particular example elegant and distinguishes it from other SL models. It will be a perfect addition to a collection of interesting Mercedes cars and a comfortable classic car to use on a daily basis.
