Model history:

The Mercedes-Benz 107 model series, produced from 1971 to 1989, was particularly attractive to aesthetes. A shape as if carved out of stone, crowned by the three-pointed star in the radiator grille. What kind of machine is behind it is above all a question of character. Regardless of whether it's an in-line six-cylinder engine or a V8 engine – either in the SL or the SLC: the selection is also large in terms of displacement, so that everyone can find their model. Compared to the roadster, the SLC has an extended wheelbase, and the side windows of the coupé were fully retractable without annoying B-pillars, as is typical for Mercedes. The SLC was offered from 1971 to 1981, and a total of just over 62,000 coupés found a buyer.
