For Sale: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL in Lutz, Florida

Long-term ownership, highly original, both tops, and a true V8 cruiser style - this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the luxury classic that has everything you want. Mercedes built these R107 SLs correctly from day one, so if you find a well-preserved example like this, age is barely a factor. Good sheet metal, complete trim, and German-engineered precision in the panel fit tell you that you're looking at a proper classic Mercedes. In fact, we're told this is a two-owner car and that the low odometer (averaging under 1k miles annually) is believed to reflect the full actual mileage. And a car like this deserves proper care. It has a terrific color combo where the factory-correct Champagne Metallic has a sophisticated and harmonizing tone with both the brown folding roof and brown leather interior. Plus, the bright trim of the color-matched hardtop really makes this look like a stylish coupe. So take a closer look at a well-respected premium classic convertible.
