The seller offers for sale this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL, equipped with a 3.8-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic gearbox. The car is reported to drive and shift properly, making it operational. Cosmetically, it presents in overall fair condition, showing signs of use consistent with its age and mileage. The odometer displays a reading of 178,504 miles. Some attention may be required to further improve both cosmetic and technical aspects, making it suitable for an enthusiast looking to refine a classic open-top Mercedes. Also the soft top needs work.
The Mercedes-Benz 380 SL forms part of the long-running and highly regarded R107 series, which became synonymous with build quality, comfort and understated luxury. Produced over nearly two decades, the SL was designed as a refined grand tourer rather than a pure sports car, combining V8 performance with long-distance usability and solid engineering. Today, the 380 SL is appreciated for its timeless styling, relaxed driving character and strong reputation for durability, making it a popular entry point into classic Mercedes-Benz ownership.
