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.
