Few cars from the past reach legendary status, as the R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL has done. With an eighteen year production run between 1971 and 1989, the R107 quickly became a Hollywood favorite, featuring in countless films, being driven by stars on, and off screen as well. Its timeless lines and Mercedes-Benz badge alone mark it out as a highly desirable car, especially if its in good condition as this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster is. With just 37,787 miles on the clock, this example is a low-miler that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed by an enthusiast. It’s also got a numbers-matching motor and transmission as a further draw to a discerning buyer.
The lines of the R107 are the work of Joseph Gallitzendorfer and Friedrich Geiger, and they’ve created an icon of Mercedes-Benz timelessness. Those lines on this Anthracite Gray 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster are slightly diluted by the US-regulated quad sealed beam headlamps and elongated front bumper for crash regulation compliance. Thankfully, that’s only at the front; the sides and rear remain the same as on European market cars, and this example is said to have new tires and a new soft top as well. Badging and chrome detailing appear to be in decent shape. The interior is in gray, with seating for two and an upholstered luggage storage area behind that hosts the first aid kit, and augments the trunk storage on offer. As Mercedes-Benz’ pinnacle two-door offering, the car comes with climate control, power windows and mirrors, power antenna, a Technics radio cassette player. The interior is in decent condition, with some light wear and tear visible on the seats and trim pieces.
While the most potent engine one could have in a R107SL was a 5.6L V8 that put out a healthy 237hp in Euro trim, North American cars were somewhat down on power due to the emissions regulations in force. This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster packs a smaller 3.8L V8 that will be friendlier on the wallet at the pumps, and it puts out 155hp and 196lb-ft to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. With a car like this, you want to go slower so that everyone can enjoy watching it go by, rather than whizz past in a gray blur. The seller reports a new exhaust muffler has been installed as well.
The R107 SL series built by Mercedes-Benz is becoming a future collectible and for a good reason. The first word that comes to mind when looking at a Mercedes-Benz vehicle from this era is elegance. These cars were produced from 1971 until 1989, marking the second longest single series ever created by the German company. The roadsters of the R107 and C107 were the best top-down open-air motoring experiences money could buy at the time. That is why this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster with the R107 chassis is a desirable option for someone who’s looking to buy a classic that combines quality, performance, and style. This example just bears 31,600 miles on its clock and is available for sale in New Mexico.
Many enthusiasts consider the 1980s to be a period of peak Mercedes-Benz. The company’s designs were timeless, and build quality was known to be unreproachable, with engineers known to focus on creating the best they could, no holds barred. The third generation SL, otherwise known as the R107, is a quintessential ’80s Mercedes, with its boxy styling and classic interior. The three-pointed star up front proudly represents the storied history of the brand, while the R107 is also the second-longest single series ever produced by Mercedes. Equipped with a 3.8-liter V8 engine, this example of 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has 100,000 lovingly cared-for miles on the odometer and appears to be in immaculate condition. The car is currently in California, and is offered for sale by the original family that owned it.
The R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL was a Hollywood favorite when it ran between 1971 and 1989.

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.
