You don't need to win the lottery to own a magnificent mile munching coupe or cabriolet. Debate over this dozen with prices from less than five grand!
SL FOR ALL THE FAMILY
The fixedhead coupé SLC is the overlooked afterthought of the R107 family, yet if you’re looking for a cultured tourer that’s far better built and more trustworthy then any Aston or Jensen, then you can’t ignore this rare-spotted Merc. Essentially these are SLs with a 14inch added wheelbase for acceptable 2+2 accommodation that’s roomier than an XJ-S. The driving experience is a bit soft and dated, but there’s no shortage of pace form the V8s powering this fine GT. Spares and repairs are easy via specialists like the SL Shop plus you can still acquire parts from main dealers. With prices going through the roof for SLs (if you pardon the pun), the fixedhead SLC remains a bargain but won’t stay that way for ever.
