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

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.

Exterior and Interior

Apart from the beautifully sketched long body style, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster looks subtle with its Nebula Gray Pearl exterior. Its current owner claims that it was repainted in 2020 to reflect its spectacular state at the time. Both hardtop and soft-top are offered with the sale, though the hard top stand is not available.

Inside, the gray leather seats provide a lovely visual blend with the exterior while offering space and comfort to you and your passenger. Behind the seats is a small area where you can keep your belongings if the trunk is already full. You are getting two keys with this car and it retains the original first aid kit. The owner has added an aftermarket CD radio for your entertainment as well.
