1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SLC
Specifications
Description
When Daimler-Benz were designing a replacement for the much loved Pagoda-roof SL range it was decided to simultaneously offer a longer wheel base 2+2 version of the new model in order to fill the gap from the demise of the W111/112 coupes, hence the creation of the SLC.
The new SL/SLC range, dubbed W107 by Stuttgart was an altogether stronger, safer, and more sophisticated design than the Pagoda before it.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Sporting chunky, squared-off lines the W107 boasted construction methodology that incorporated side impact protection in the doors along with crumple zones providing unparalleled safety. The SLC also features a slightly raised roof line to give greater head room along with unusual side windows devoid of a B-pillar thus creating a pillar less coupe once the windows are lowered.
- Original Interior - finish is to the usual Mercedes-Benz high standard with space to seat four adults in comfort, the long doors alleviating any aggravation when accessing the rear.
- Mechanically - comes with overhead-cam V8 with 3-speed automatic transmission.
- Good body looks to be clean of rust - nice paintwork.
- Comes with flash Kraut wheels
- First Registered in New Zealand in 1986 - previously registered in the United Kingdom.
- Very pleasant car to drive.
Such was the success of the SL/SLC that it remained in production largely unchanged for nearly two decades with nearly 250,000 built. Often overlooked today the SLC shares the same virtues as the open-topped SL; outstanding construction, robust mechanicals with safety features ahead of their time help to make this prime Mercedes something of a classic bargain!
Will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
