We first knew the Mercedes-Benz 380SL as the 350 SL then the 450 SL. In late 1981, a new 3.8 L light alloy aluminum cylinder V8 arrived along with Mercedes' latest automatic gearbox; hence the 380 SL. Built on the highly regarded and successful R107 chassis, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL expanded on the technological advancements of its earlier models. The SL class featured excellent build quality, a powerful engine, sporty yet comfortable handling, and all the contemporary amenities one would expect from a high-end European vehicle. This well-preserved example of the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL demonstrates these qualities perfectly. Showing 97,000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale with a correct Classic Silver paint over a striking blue leather interior.
The 380SL was marketed and built as a high-end personal luxury roadster, earning a reputation as a car of great prestige. Its sleek body style is cloaked in a silver exterior paint while a blue convertible top or a body-color matching hard top is available for you to choose. Black bumpers with chrome inserts shield the ends of the car. It rides on 14” wheels that house front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The interior is wide and is fitted with wonderfully supportive fully adjustable leather bucket seats and there's only a package tray behind them. Honest-to-goodness wood trim decorates this cabin while an automatic climate control system, stereo, a huge non-adjustable steering wheel, and a complete complement of gauges make up the dash. The 380SL was equipped with modern conveniences for its time including power windows. Unlike many convertibles, it also includes a very usable trunk and a full-size spare tire is kept under the cargo floor.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is powered by a 3.8L V8 engine that churns out a respectable 155 BHP (114.08 KW) and 196 Ft-Lbs (266 NM) of torque. It uses a four-speed automatic transmission that offers a driving experience that combines the thrill of a sports car with the comfort and luxury Mercedes-Benz is renowned for. According to sources, the 380 SL does an impressive 17 MPG in city driving and 22 MPG on the highway.

Do you want to own and drive a contemporary Mercedes-Benz model that’s a timeless icon, and has definite classic value? If so, consider an example of the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 embodied Hollywood in more ways than one. It was a darling of the silver screen, as well as a hot item for actors and actresses to drive around in. Now, it’s a well-recognized classic car, and one that’ll only appreciate in value as the earliest examples have passed their fiftieth birthdays. Meanwhile, this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL isn’t at the Fifty mark yet, but it’s a lovely example to cherish. With 135,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s led an enjoyable life, but there’s plenty more to give. After all, Mercedes-Benzes of this ilk can go on forever with the right maintenance and TLC – and this car has reportedly had all its maintenance done, up to date.

The Mercedes-Benz SL is a bucket list aspiration for many. It’s the car you buy to treat yourself when you’ve made it. Owning and driving a brand-new SL marks a milestone, and a time when you know that you can somewhat relax and enjoy the finer aspects of life. Imagine how the first owner of this R107-generation 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL must have felt when picking up their car brand-new! While the car has done 103,000 miles since then, it’s still in good condition, so you can feel just as special if you buy this car from us. What are you waiting for?
What do you get if you want a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but with a sportier, coupe-like silhouette? One might point to the E-Class Coupe, but then you counter with “I want four doors”. No worries, Mercedes-Benz’s boffins had anticipated such a request. That’s why the CLS-Class was born 2004, as a four-door coupe-like variant of the E-Class. Three generations were made before the nameplate was retired in 2023, as Mercedes-Benz now offers similar value propositions in other models. This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 comes from the second generation of the model, and has covered 72,229 miles so far. It’s a well-specified car, with the Premium Package, AMG Line Package, Parking Assist Package, Night Package, and Driver Assistance Package all ticked off. Hence, it’s a great luxury car if you’re looking for something truly sleek and stylish, with a Star on the nose.
If you look at any modern luxury car, its main selling points are its gargantuan screens pasted on the dashboard or its gimmicky self-driving abilities. Go back 30 years, however, and the term Luxury Car meant something completely different. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe with just 135,238 miles on the clock is a perfect representation. The W140 generation is known as the last overengineered Mercedes, and it really shows.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
Here’s an interesting little curio that you won’t easily find in North America. A meticulously-restored 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet. This 168,800-mile car is basically a drop-top first generation Volkswagen Golf. The Mark I or first generation Golf saw a long production run, with the Cabriolet running well into 1993. Plus, the Mark I Golf is considered to be one of the icons of the ʼ80s; a fine-driving hot hatchback that can put a smile on anyone’s face. That’s why whoever chooses to pick up this 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet is definitely going to be very happy. Is that you, then? Call us if it is.
In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.
