Mercedes 280 SLC c107 elegant coupe S-class 1980

In July 1974 the 107 series type range was once more enlarged. As a consequence of the oil crisis in the year 1973, roadster and SLC were now also offered with the DOHC fuel-injection engine. It had already stood its test in the „dash-eight“ series as well as the S-class for two years. Thus, three SLC coupés, each with a different engine, were available. Only an attentive observer was able to differentiate between the three versions. The 280 SLC could be recognized by its narrow tires. At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980 the SLC coupés and the roadsters of the type range 107 presented themselves in an updated form. The interior as well as the steering wheel was adapted to the S-Class saloons. The mechanics, too, was brought up to date. The 3-speed automatic transmission was replaced by a 4-speed version. #mercedes #slc #c107 #autowrap source: Mercedes-Benz Classic Center
