The seller offers for sale this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL, powered by a 3.8-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in grey with a light grey interior, this R107-generation SL presents as a restoration-ready example. The car is currently non-driving and should therefore be considered a project car. It comes with both a removable hard top and a soft top, adding to its appeal as a classic Mercedes-Benz roadster project.
Visually, the car shows clear signs of age, use and long-term storage. The bodywork presents with wear, paint imperfections, corrosion and weathering to various exterior areas, while the bumpers, wheels and trim also show age-related deterioration. The soft top is present but visibly worn, and the engine bay appears aged and in need of attention. The interior includes light grey seats, wood trim and automatic gear selector, though wear, discolouration and general signs of use are visible throughout. The odometer reading shows 136,947 miles, but this has not been verified.
The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is one of the brand’s most recognisable classic roadsters, produced over a long period and admired for its solid engineering, elegant styling and comfortable grand touring character. The 380 SL was fitted with a V8 engine and offered a more relaxed, refined driving experience than many contemporary sports cars, making it a popular choice in the luxury convertible market of the early 1980s.
As a 1982 example with both hard top and soft top included, this Mercedes-Benz 380 SL offers an interesting basis for a restoration or recommissioning project. Due to its current non-driving condition, the car is best suited to an enthusiast, specialist or collector looking for a project car with a desirable R107 body style and V8 engine configuration.
