Mercedes-Benz SLC 280

1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC – Timeless Grand Touring Elegance



This vehicle is visible in the Eau de Pétrole showroom.

The Mercedes-Benz SLC was the luxurious coupé variant of the legendary R107 SL, offering the same style and engineering brilliance in a more practical and exclusive 2+2 configuration. Longer, more spacious, and every bit as elegant, the SLC combined Mercedes’ reputation for build quality with refined long-distance cruising ability.
This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC represents the perfect balance of understated luxury and classic driving pleasure. With its smooth six-cylinder engine, pillarless coupé design, and timeless Mercedes presence, it remains a highly desirable collector’s piece today.
