In 1979, a factory-prepared Mercedes-Benz 450SLC tackled the legendary Rallye Bandama in Ivory Coast — one of the toughest long-distance rallies in the world. Fitted with a roll cage, lightweight bodywork, and heavy-duty running gear, it was a remarkable departure for a grand touring coupe, and it finished the event with distinction. Italeri's 1/24 scale kit captures the car in full rally specification, complete with authentic livery decals.
