THE 450 SLC is a lot of car for the money. You should be able to buy one for less than $18,000, which makes it great value. Look for an Australian-delivered car and avoid imports that could have come from Hong Kong, where rust is prevalent. Rust can be a problem. Check the floors inside for dampness, or signs that they have been damp. If you find any dampness walk away, because there will be serious rust in the body. The interior trim can split, seats collapse and the dash can crack. Mechanically the V8 is strong, but will use plenty of petrol. Once you've found a car you're keen on, have it checked by an expert.
