This week's car is the rare 500SLC. These have really jumped in value the last 3 years. At this price it will probably get exported to europe.

This particular car is pretty much exactly the spec I would want on one. the later 4 speed transmission, no problematic chrysler sourced climate control, great colour combo. It even has ABS. I like the penta wheels but don't like the AMG style wheel. Still, these are in demand so could easily be sold and replaced with one I like more.

Great looking 500SLC!

There was a black 500SLC in Sydney I believe it was Fotografa’s car not sure if he still has the car?

Can not say I have seen any other R107 500SLC here in Australia has to be a rare car for the Aussie market?

I understand there are 4-5 in Australia. The black one is now in WA under new ownership.

Wow okay 4 To 5 R107 in Oz.

Okay the Black 500SLC now in the West fair enough.

Great style the SL & SLC very popular at the moment just like Porsche’s ‘the car to have’, cool & trendy?!

Cue Michel red Mercedes!

LHD 450 5ltr that is a rare sight here in Australia.

Look at the tail lights they are non spec for the Aussie market?

Bryce did you see how many miles the car has on the clock?

Yes correct. The taillights are USA spec I think. 107.026 are still somewhat reasonably priced in the USA compared to europe, so the place to get one, if you want it.

Didn't get the mileage but I did confirm its a real one. Just imported. Its at the body shop to have side intrusion beams fitted for compliance. Will then go to the mechanics shop for RHD headlights etc.
