First introduced in 1971/72, the luxurious 450SL roadster and 450SLC coupe were outwardly identical to their ‘350’ (3.5-litre) sister models, though endowed with superior performance courtesy of a more-powerful 4.5-litre V8 engine. Built on a longer wheelbase, the coupe accommodated two rear-seat passengers and provided greater boot space than the roadster. Mercedes-Benz’s increasing preoccupation with safety was evident in the design of the interior, which boasted a padded dash top, recessed or flexibly mounted switchgear and padded steering wheel on a ‘collapsible’ column. Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection was standardised for 1975, electronic ignition and self-adjusting hydraulic tappets being introduced at the same time. Maximum speed of this superbly equipped top-of-the-range coupe was in excess of 130mph. We are advised that this right-hand drive, automatic-transmission 450SLC was restored four years ago and remains in generally very good condition. Finished in brown metallic with matching leather interior, the car comes generously equipped with sunroof, power steering, Blaupunkt stereo system, wood-rim steering wheel, electric windows and Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels. Used daily, it displays a total of 93,000 miles on the odometer and is offered with MoT to July 2005, road fund licence to March 2005 and Swansea V5 registration document
