Back in the Seventies, two doors, convertibles, and sports cars were a thing, and obviously, Mercedes-Benz didn’t miss out. In 1971, Mercedes released a fun little sports car and grand tourer called the SL, but little did they know it would turn out to be the second longest series to be produced after the G-Class. Back to the SL series, Mercedes released a few different versions, one of them being the 380SL on display today. Speaking of which, this 1982 Mercedes Benz 380SL is up for sale for those looking to experience a little bit of old school European performance.
Understand this. Yes, the 380SL is a sports car, but it’s also very much a Mercedes-Benz. Put away flashy colors, and you’re left with a beautiful tan exterior paint. Stare at it long enough and you’d see the retro chrome bits hinting at a time where bling was cool. One look to long and you start to notice how a German automaker mixed luxury with finesse. This car says it all. On a serious note, a lot of cars may look impressive when you look at it from outside, but that amount of nostalgia is usually not brought within the cabin. But what if the car you stepped into greeted you with high quality leather and a two tone cabin? What if 1982 was today and you were cruising in a 380SL? Sit in this, and that’s where you’ll be taken.
This 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL summons power from a 3.8L V8; they produced 215hp when new, but this example comes with some recently replaced parts.

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.
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.
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.
