Our 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL is a very well presented example, finished in its original Black paintwork with a beautifully contrasting Beige leather interior. A rare UK supplied V8 car, it offers the desirable right hand drive configuration and a specification that feels entirely in keeping with the model.
The condition throughout is a real highlight. The bodywork presents cleanly with a deep, even finish, while the interior has clearly been well cared for, retaining a fresh and original feel. The Beige leather, carpets and trim all show minimal wear, giving the car an honest and well preserved character rather than something over restored.
The R107 series is widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz’s most durable and usable classics, with production spanning nearly two decades. By 1985, the model had benefitted from continuous refinement, making later cars like this especially appealing. The 3. 8 litre V8 provides smooth, effortless performance, perfectly suited to relaxed touring.
Factory colour combinations play a big part in the appeal of these cars, and Black over Beige is among the most desirable. It gives the car a timeless, understated look that suits the SL’s design exceptionally well.
Complete with both hard and soft tops, the 380 SL offers genuine versatility, equally at home as a refined coupé or an open grand tourer. Build quality is solid and reassuring, contributing to the reputation these cars have earned for longevity and ease of ownership.
Altogether, this is a truly smart example of the iconic SL R107, well specified, correctly presented, and in the kind of condition that is becoming increasingly hard to find.
