Many enthusiasts consider the 1980s to be a period of peak Mercedes-Benz. The company’s designs were timeless, and build quality was known to be unreproachable, with engineers known to focus on creating the best they could, no holds barred. The third generation SL, otherwise known as the R107, is a quintessential ’80s Mercedes, with its boxy styling and classic interior. The three-pointed star up front proudly represents the storied history of the brand, while the R107 is also the second-longest single series ever produced by Mercedes. Equipped with a 3.8-liter V8 engine, this example of 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has 100,000 lovingly cared-for miles on the odometer and appears to be in immaculate condition. The car is currently in California, and is offered for sale by the original family that owned it.
One look at the 380SL, and you know it’s from the ’80s. The boxy yet aerodynamic lines are true to-type of the design characteristics for a Merc from that era. This example is finished in bright red, showing off those blocky styling cues. The SL comes with a hardtop to either use when the sun is too unbearable or to change up its style, making the SL a car that can be used as more than just a cruiser. Inside, this 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has a period-correct black leather interior, while the current owner reports that the seats have been reupholstered. The interior holds styling nods from other Mercedes-Benz’s from this era. The wood trim and the wool carpet give the interior a touch of luxury. As with most German cars, the plastics are of top quality, with each knob and button holding a specific purpose. An aftermarket stereo system has been fitted to make sure you can enjoy your music with clarity while cruising.
This 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster is equipped with a 3.8L V8, which features mechanical fuel injection, and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. This engine gives the 380SL 156hp and 266 Nm of torque, which is undoubtedly enough to keep up with modern traffic while offering a laid-back driving experience befitting the car.
Do you want to own and drive a contemporary Mercedes-Benz model that’s a timeless icon, and has definite classic value? If so, consider an example of the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 embodied Hollywood in more ways than one. It was a darling of the silver screen, as well as a hot item for actors and actresses to drive around in. Now, it’s a well-recognized classic car, and one that’ll only appreciate in value as the earliest examples have passed their fiftieth birthdays. Meanwhile, this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL isn’t at the Fifty mark yet, but it’s a lovely example to cherish. With 135,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s led an enjoyable life, but there’s plenty more to give. After all, Mercedes-Benzes of this ilk can go on forever with the right maintenance and TLC – and this car has reportedly had all its maintenance done, up to date.
We first knew the Mercedes-Benz 380SL as the 350 SL then the 450 SL. In late 1981, a new 3.8 L light alloy aluminum cylinder V8 arrived along with Mercedes' latest automatic gearbox; hence the 380 SL. Built on the highly regarded and successful R107 chassis, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL expanded on the technological advancements of its earlier models. The SL class featured excellent build quality, a powerful engine, sporty yet comfortable handling, and all the contemporary amenities one would expect from a high-end European vehicle. This well-preserved example of the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL demonstrates these qualities perfectly. Showing 97,000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale with a correct Classic Silver paint over a striking blue leather interior.
The Mercedes-Benz SL is a bucket list aspiration for many. It’s the car you buy to treat yourself when you’ve made it. Owning and driving a brand-new SL marks a milestone, and a time when you know that you can somewhat relax and enjoy the finer aspects of life. Imagine how the first owner of this R107-generation 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL must have felt when picking up their car brand-new! While the car has done 103,000 miles since then, it’s still in good condition, so you can feel just as special if you buy this car from us. What are you waiting for?

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain.

Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going.
