⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Sumptuous V8 performance meets effortless durability and classic roadster charm.

Engineered with a robust, safety-conscious structure, the R107 SL was specifically tailored to capture North American tastes; and two-thirds of all production models were ultimately sold there. Over its eighteen-year production run, it established an enviable image as the ultimate symbol of effortless Hollywood glamour and country club prestige, backed by overbuilt mechanical integrity that promised supreme long-distance and long-term dependability.

Today, its classic proportions and unmatched durability give it a timeless modern appeal, allowing it to seamlessly blend retro aesthetic allure with comfortable, daily-drivable reliability. Equipped with smooth V8 power and sophisticated engineering, it remains one of the most sought-after classic open-top cruisers for discerning enthusiasts worldwide.

Family-owned since 2017, this remarkably solid 380 SL was originally imported from California and has resided in the UK for the past nine years, it has been garage stored since Mike's dad bought the car. Finished in classic white with a contrasting Palomino MB-Tex interior, it features the desirable factory hardtop along with optional rear seats.

Fresh from a £4,000 mechanical overhaul and sold with a newly issued MOT alongside two original keys, this example is ready for its next custodian to drive and enjoy immediately.
