This R107-generation Mercedes-Benz 380 SL is a refined modern classic roadster, which benefits from significant cosmetic restorative maintenance. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre V8, delivering around 158kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example was originally a Singapore-delivered model, which was first registered in January 1984, and has since been imported to Australia, where it has been with the seller for one year. The odometer indicates 46,858 Km, though this is not warranted. This R107-era 380 SL is finished in the rich hue of Orient Red with a matching hard-top and a black convertible roof, over a black ‘MB-Tex’ vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring wood veneer trim inlays. It rides on a set of 14-inch ‘Baroque’ alloy wheels fitted with Maxxis MA-P1 tyres. Equipment includes electric front windows, dual-zone air conditioning, a Mercedes-Benz Classic cassette stereo, and a heated rear screen. The car comes with a spare wheel, two keys, and spare rubber door seals and MB-Tex upholstery pieces. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some small blemishes on the boot lid, a small scratch near the passenger door, some cracks on the dashboard, slight wear on the driver’s side carpet, some weathering on the dashboard trim, and the rubber door seals are worn, though spare units are included with the sale. This 380 SL’s most recent maintenance was carried out in December 2023 at an indicated 45,687 Kms by Melissari & Sons, which consisted of a full service, an air conditioning service, and a new period-correct stereo being installed. Another service was performedin April 2023 at an indicated 45,211 Kms by Star Technic. Other notable cosmetic restorative maintenance includes a full respray being carried out, a new soft-top roof installed, the seats reupholstered, and the wood veneer trim on the centre console being replaced. This R107-generation Mercedes-Benz 380 SL is a stylish and robust modern classic roadster, which benefits from significant cosmetic restorative maintenance. Presented with an attractive colour scheme, and boasting a lively V8 engine coupled to a smooth-shifting automatic gearbox, alongside characteristic refinement, it would make a charismatic companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
