1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC – Astral Silver A rare chance to own a proper classic Mercedes from an era when cars were built to last. This 1977 450SLC comes in Astral Silver with just 160,000 miles covered – averaging only 3,400 miles per year. Powered by the 4.5-litre V8, it delivers effortless performance. Originally a South African car, it has the benefit of being completely rust free and comes with a fully documented service history. Very presentable throughout, this isn’t a concours garage queen but an honest, well-kept example that’s ready to be enjoyed straight away. It handles modern traffic with ease and is practical enough to be used all year round. Thanks to its pillarless design and factory sunroof, it can almost give the convertible experience while retaining the strength and comfort of a fixed-top Mercedes R107.
