I saw a 350SLC a few years ago and immediately fell in love with it. Recently I've been looking into getting 350 or 450SLC, however I'm pretty sure it's going to remain a dream for me at the moment because I drive about 23 miles to work every day and only have space for one car - I don't think it would be economical enough to drive to work and back with its 15 mpg.
Anyhow, I wanted to ask some questions, as there is a possibility I could get one as a project car, and would like to know anyway for future reference:
I read a couple of pages on the net about people doing engine swaps into SLs - would these apply equally to an SLC? I presume they would more-or-less because the chassis is near identical (but how near?) Anyone done one? Any idea what you can fit in there without too much trouble and expense?
What's a decent mileage for the SLCs, and what's a good price here in the UK? Looking around I see prices of £2.5k to £7k, many seem a bit steep (7K!?!)...
Anything I should look out for or be wary of?
Thanks!
