– 3.8-litre V8 petrol
– Imported from the United States
– New dashboard installed by previous owner
– Recent maintenance with multiple renewed components
The seller offers for sale a C107 Mercedes-Benz 380SLC from 1981, a coupe with automatic transmission and a smooth-running 3.8-litre V8. The car was imported from the United States by the previous owner and has been in the seller’s possession for about a year and a half. Recent technical work includes new fuel pumps, fuel filters, a fuel accumulator, spark plugs with cables, and a renewed flex coupling. The interior offers a pleasant atmosphere with original floor mats, a replaced dashboard, and only minor wear on the driver’s side bolster. The heating in this vehicle works fine, but unfortunately the air conditioning system is defective.
Mercedes-Benz positioned the SLC series as a long-wheelbase grand tourer, combining refined cruising character with balanced handling. The 380SLC represents the later development of the C107 line, known for its smooth V8 engines, relaxed driving behaviour and distinctive pillarless coupe design. These models attract enthusiasts who appreciate their mix of style and road presence. Today, the 380SLC holds a respected place among collectors who seek a comfortable classic with a recognisable silhouette and a rewarding driving feel. Its reputation for solid engineering and long-distance capability makes it a desirable choice for those who value traditional Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
