1981 Mercedes-Benz R107 380SL Convertible 3,8L V8

Highlights

  • Well-regarded 380 model -the smaller of the V8-engined R107 SLs
  • Comes with USA Title and European import documents
  • All EU duties and VAT have been paid following import to the Netherlands
  • Clean CARFAX report included, warranting 67,913 miles
  • Equipped with a removable hardtop and folding soft top

The Appeal

The R107 SL was designed with the American market in mind. As such, you could choose some huge V8s. Most went for 500s and 560s, but those in the know will likely tell you that the smaller V8 of the 380 SL was the connoisseur's choice, offering a better blend o performance, handling and fuel economy than its larger siblings.

This 1981 example comes with a clean CARFAX report, verifying the low mileage and matching numbers. Imported to the Netherlands with all taxes and duties paid, USA Title and European import documents present, this SL is ready for a new owner to register it in Europe.
