The Appeal

The R107 SL is one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated grand tourers, produced across an impressive 18-year run. The 380SL variant, with its 3.8-litre V8, strikes a fine balance between effortless performance and the refined cruising character for which these cars are so highly regarded. This 1981 example wears Astral Silver Metallic over grey leather — a pairing that suits the R107's clean, elegant lines well.

The car comes accompanied by its matching removable hardtop, offering the choice between open-air motoring and coupé comfort. It shows 69,251 miles on the odometer and is offered on a Dutch export registration document. The seller is able to assist with worldwide transport and shipping, making this an accessible opportunity for buyers across Europe and beyond.
