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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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. These include a new transmission kit, a new cylinder, a new brake master with a recent fluid oil change, a new water pump, spark plugs, fuel injector and intake, new gaskets and valves, a new radiator and heat and cooling system, as well as a brand new odometer.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL delivers the classic Mercedes roadster formula with V8 power, open-top versatility, and the substantial feel associated with the R107 generation. Finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over a Brazil Brown leather interior, this example pairs a Brown convertible soft top with a body-colored removable hard top, allowing the car to transition between open-air cruising and a more enclosed grand-touring configuration. Equipment includes 15-hole light alloy wheels, anti-lock brakes, automatic climate control, cruise control, Zebrano wood veneer trim, heat-insulating glass, and an automatic antenna. Showing approximately 102,609 miles, this 380 SL combines restrained period styling with the comfort and mechanical simplicity that make these Mercedes roadsters appealing enthusiast cars.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL represents the timeless appeal of the R107-generation SL, combining classic Mercedes-Benz roadster styling with traditional V8 power and renowned German engineering. Showing 153,427 miles, this example reflects the long-distance durability and luxury-focused character that made the 380 SL a popular grand touring roadster. Finished in an elegant Anthracite Gray Metallic exterior over a gray MB-Tex interior, it retains the refined specification and comfort features expected from a Mercedes-Benz flagship convertible of the era.
The 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL represents the classic R107 roadster formula, combining timeless styling, Mercedes-Benz engineering, and effortless open-top cruising. Showing 49,467 miles, this example is finished in elegant Classic White over a Red MB-Tex interior and features the desirable U.S.-specification equipment package. Powered by a naturally aspirated V8 and equipped with a smooth automatic transmission, this 380 SL delivers the refined driving experience that defined Mercedes-Benz luxury roadsters of the era.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
