Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this original, unmolested and
very well kept 1985 Mercedes Benz 380sl Roadster for world
consideration. This SL was purchased new at Holtz House of Vehicles
of Rochester, NY and has resided in the northeast as a seasonal
vehicle over the course of three responsible owners. At 82029
miles, the car remains in overall excellent original condition
inside and out. The tan interior appears to be all original, the
dash pad does have some minor cracks, but overall, considering the
age of the vehicle, the interior including the seats, wood, carpet
and gauges remain very clean, tidy and exhibits the consistent care
this vehicle has received. An Alpine stereo with 6 disc cd changer
has replaced the original factory radio. The exterior paint appears
to be nearly all, if not all original, remains glossy and shows
lots of life. The body and panel fit is outstanding as one would
expect of the brand, the stainless steel trim is a bit cloudy, but
is free of dents and remains securely fixed to the car. The trunk
area remains fully lined with carpet, very clean and houses the
full size spare, jack and factory tool roll. The factory soft top
appears original. The bottom of the car is very original, clean and
the serviceable items appear to have been addressed.
This is a very complete car featuring its original factory hard
top, original books with clear plastic portfolio, original floor
mats, original spare and jack, and original factory tool roll. The
Maintenance book shows timely dealer service stamps, the warranty
book contains original owner info. The last notable service was
completed in spring of 2014 and at mileage 78799 consisting of new
belts, hoses, shocks, fluids with some odds and ends, over $1600.00
dollars spent at that time. Mechanically this car is a pleasure to
drive, the air blows cold, CARFAX is perfect and the Michelin tires
have just a few hundred miles on them.
Since the introduction of the 300SL Roadster in 1957, the Mercedes
SL nameplate has been associated the best of the best in open-air
motoring. To this day, the Mercedes SL masterfully combines
quality, performance, elegance and style. The 1985 380SL was part
of the legendary R107 body style, which exemplifies the SL's reign
of success. These cars will always have global appeal and will
always remain in high demand.
