1977 Mercedes-Benz W107 450 SLC review from South Africa
"Great Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vacuum Central Locking System.
General comments?
This car is a great tourer and can comfortably sit at speed on the highways.
The V8 sound from the engine is awesome.
The car is however quite thirsty especially in town driving.
The interior is well thought out and has all of the luxuries that you find in modern cars including air conditioning, sunroof, cruise control, power steering etc.
The seating is really comfortable and a recent trip from Cape Town to JHB (1,350 kms) was a pleasure.
