The Appeal

For many, the 380 SL represents a sweet spot in the long-lived R107 range. This 1984 example is just that, a US market 380 SL in a stunning Blue-Green Metallic, complemented by a beige leather interior 'Mexican hat' alloy wheels and whole host of desirable period features including the outside temperature indicator, cruise control.

With matching numbers and a clean CARFAX, this 380SL is an example that has been meticulously maintained. Its European import documents and paid duties make it an attractive option for buyers within the EU. Once registered in your country of choice, it'll be ready to go.

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
