Launched in 1971 and remaining in production for some 18 years, few classics have enjoyed the same longevity as the Mercedes-Benz C107 SLC, and its two-seat R107 SL sibling. Nothing else blends performance, safety, and quality quite like the C107 does; it is the archetypical Mercedes-Benz experience. The two-door hard top SLC sat on a 14.2-inch longer wheelbase than the SL, providing space for two full-size rear seats, with the 2746cc M110 straight-six found in 280 models delivering brisk performance. The high levels of quality and safety and outstanding support from marque specialists make the C and R107 eminently usable classics in the modern day.

This 280 SLC is accompanied by its Datenkarte and service booklet, which reveals that it was delivered new in 1977 in Germany and regularly maintained by Mercedes-Benz in Datteln until 1989, with mileage recorded at 133,000 km. This history is evidenced by nearly 30 service stamps. Today, the odometer shows 174,663 km, and the car still comes with both sets of keys.

The car has been professionally maintained in the owner's private workshop. However, while it has benefited from regular care, it has been kept on static display in recent years. As such, it will require recommissioning before being returned to road use.

Footnotes
