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 2. 8liter DOHC fuelinjection engine. It had already stood its test in the dasheight series as well as the Sclass 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 SClass saloons. The mechanics, too, was brought up to date. The 3speed automatic transmission was replaced by a 4speed version. , mercedes, slc, c107, autowrap source: MercedesBenz Classic Center br, br,
