1985 MERCEDES-BENZ SL

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 12,000 - GBP 15,000.

First registered in the UK on 08/02/1985, this right-hand drive 380SL is finished in Cabernet Red Metallic with a contrasting Cream Beige MB-Tex interior, wood trim and matching hardtop

Powered by Mercedes-Benz's smooth 3.8-litre V8 engine coupled to an automatic gearbox, the 380SL offers the relaxed, refined open-top motoring for which the long-running R107 series has become so well regarded

Indicating 99,101 miles at the time of cataloguing, it has had just four former registered keepers and has been in our vendor's ownership since October 2016

Accompanied by its Mercedes-Benz build card, owner's manual, a stamped service book and a collection of invoices documenting maintenance and expenditure. Most recently serviced by Autoclass of Milton Keynes on 11/05/2026, with a replacement Mercedes-Benz exhaust fitted by The SL Shop in August 2018, a new battery in May 2025, and a replacement fuel pump, filter and relay in June 2026

The contrasting mid-brown soft top was professionally replaced in April 2019, with the invoice on file, whilst the accompanying hardtop provides year-round versatility. Four new tyres were fitted in June 2026, and the car retains its Becker Mexico radio, electrically operated aerial, electric windows and cruise control

Offered at a sensible estimate, this attractive V8-powered 380SL represents an appealing opportunity to enjoy the timeless styling, refinement and open-top motoring of Mercedes-Benz's enduring R107-series
