Overview of 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Convertible For Sale by Owner

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?

Exterior and Interior

Beige is a timeless shade for many cars, and it works beautifully on this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL, bringing out its timeless lines and iconic design. The car comes with a black hard top, as well as a black soft top. This was a signature feature of the R107 – two types of top. So, in winter you can install the hardtop and enjoy a proper, weather-protected car just like any other coupe. When summer rolls around, simply remove the hardtop and leave it at home. Should the sun get too hot or a sudden rainshower threaten you, there’s still a black soft top to use. The interior of this car is as simplistic as it was in those days, but still well-equipped. You won’t find a massive touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Instead, what you’ll find is a Becker radio, a climate control system operated via buttons and knobs, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks and a power radio antenna. This car also has the optional rear seat bench, which can accommodate two children, or one adult sitting sideways. There’s also a surprisingly roomy trunk behind the passenger cabin.

Engine

This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is powered by a 3.8L V8 that’s got ample power for urban and highway cruising. Power goes to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox. The car has front independent suspension with double wishbones, and rear semi-trailing arm independent suspension. Hence, it provides a calm and comfortable ride, but can also be driven in a sporty manner if you desire. The front and rear disc brakes are power-assisted for excellent stopping prowess. The current owner also tells us that the car has received an oil change.
