The R107 series SL reigned supreme against the mostly unmemorable competition for luxury two-seater convertibles from 1971 to 1989. Today they continue to turn heads with timeless styling; iconic, elegant and muscular at the same time. Bathed in leather and wood, the embodiment of creature comfort.
Underpinned by the best that German Engineering had to offer, powerful engine, silky smooth transmission and a responsive chassis. This well-kept 1983 380 SL is a three Arizona owner example that has been driven a mere 110k miles in its 40 years of service. It presents beautifully and runs and drives well. Starts easy. AC blows cold. The original radio is not operating, and the soft top has a few thin spots but will keep you dry and in the shade. The carpet, seats and door cards are all in great shape with no rips or tears. The removeable hardtop is in nice condition. There are a few other minor cosmetic issues that could be addressed long term, but nothing that takes away from the overall experience.
This 380 SL is about as nice a driver quality car as you may find. Located in Scottsdale, AZ this classic Mercedes Benz is offered as is where is with a clean Arizona Title and clean Carfax (available upon request).
