The R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL was a Hollywood favorite when it ran between 1971 and 1989. The car enjoyed a significant on-screen presence, always driven by a business tycoon or wealthy person. Off-screen, many Hollywood stars flocked to buy one. If you'd like to experience what they all did at the time, this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL offers a great way to do so. This car has 45,000 miles and received a host of refreshments for its mechanicals to keep it purring in the Mercedes-Benz way.
