Background Story of this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

Overview of 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL comes in silver and includes two tops. Truly a car for all seasons, you’ve got a matching body-colored hardtop, plus a soft convertible top. As you may glean, the hardtop is removable and can be kept in your garage or a suitably safe place when pleasant weather arrives. Then, you’ve got the soft top for protection when the car is parked, as well as for warding off any sudden rain showers. Other exterior highlights include its period wheels, elongated bumpers and North American-style dual headlamps. The two-seat interior of this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL offers comfortable seats in blue leather for a lucky driver and an eager passenger. The car comes with plenty of amenities that were considered luxuries in its time. These include its power windows, power mirrors, central locking system, and power radio antenna. The car also appears to have climate control with air conditioning. Meanwhile, there’s a newer Pioneer radio for more modern musical choices.

Engine

Powering this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is a 3.8L V8 that drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Performance is more than enough for a stately cruise, while leaving enough to handle highway merges. Stopping power is provided by front and rear disc brakes, while the power-assisted recirculating ball steering ensures easy maneuvering and parking.

PENDING SALE
$25,999
SOLD

Now here’s a lovely cruiser for someone to enjoy, whether they’re sixteen or sixty years old. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster hails from the hallowed R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class luxury grand tourer. This generation was made between 1971 and 1989, and of the 300,000 plus cars that were made, over two thirds came to North America. The car was a cult classic with the rich and famous, or even infamous. Now, cars like this are becoming fantastic classics to own and drive, as well as the perfect way to experience a classic Mercedes-Benz drive without giving up too many comfort features. For example, this 91,112-mile machine rocks a 4-speed automatic transmission, which was one of the key upgrades for the 1981 model year. It’s also got a Blaupunkt San Francisco SQR 28 cassette radio player, a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V8, and is up for grabs in Montclair, New Jersey.

PENDING SALE
$16,999
SOLD

There’s an interesting trend taking place in North America, where youngsters are starting to discover the allure of classic cars. Perhaps its their rather more appealing color palette, the fond talk that they’ve heard about classics from their elders, or the desire to diverge from the herd of soulless electric cars that are being thrust upon us. In fact, one of the most interesting classic car choices with Gen Z is starting to become the Mercedes-Benz R107-series SL-Class! Produced between 1971 and 1989, over 200,000 came to North America, and they’re sturdy cars, let us tell you. We’ve helped so many examples find new owners that we can safety say that these are built to last if cared for appropriately. So, if you’re a parent (or a youngster) who’s looking for their first classic, check out this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster from New Hampshire. With its V8 engine, timeless styling and relatively low 72,137 miles, it’s a great choice.

1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$18,499
SOLD

Nothing says “old money” like an 80s Mercedes convertible. This fine example is a testament to that statement. The R107 SL Class was in production for nearly 2 decades between 1971 and 1989 (reportedly selling an incredible 300,000 units), and the 380SL was made in the early 80s. In the US market, it replaced the 450SL and was succeeded by the 560SL. It was essentially a 2-seater convertible version of the S Class, providing a delightful combination of driving pleasure and luxury. The S Class frequently gets credit for being the world leader in technological innovation, but few know that the SL was also a very influential model; inertia-reel seatbelts, though now standard on every car, were developed for and debuted in the R107 SL, with its comfort and safety advantages making it an industry trend quickly. Being an 80s Mercedes, the most important thing about this car is the unbeatable quality of engineering.
