When it comes to inexpensive classic sports cars, nothing can surpass a Seventies or Eighties Mercedes-Benz.
One of their finest was the R107 SL series, produced at a time when build quality was driven by an engineer's ballpoint and not ruled by bean counters. Since the trophy amassing 300 SL, there have been a series of high performance SL sports cars, and most are rapidly becoming popular classics. Among them is the R107 450 SLC.Produced as a homologation special allowing Mercedes-Benz to compete in marathon rallies popular from the 1960s and through the 1970s, the 450 SLC is powered by a silky fuel-injected 4.5 litre single overhead cam V8.
