The Mercedes-Benz SL variant was a two-seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top and hardtop as well as optional folding seats for the rear bench. The SLC was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats and is commonly referred to as an 'SL coupé' but in reality was an S-Class coupé, replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up.
Registered new in New Zealand on 19 June 1981, the first owner was industrialist James Fletcher, although the number of owners since this is unknown. Our current vendor purchased the vehicle in Christchurch and had local experts International Motor Sport undertake some restoration work including the paint, redoing all the chrome work and new rubber seals fitted all across a 6 month restoration period.
This far from common iteration of the luxurious Mercedes touring car it was designed to be is finished in choice green paint and bears a mileage of but 160,000 kilometres.
