The Appeal
There's one classic convertible you'll see more than any other on Car & Classic. It is, of course, the Mercedes-Benz SL. This Teutonic titan of roadsters has always been the best in its class, trouncing all opposition on performance, looks, engineering and build quality. The R107 is a particular favourite among enthusiasts and we're always delighted to offer fine examples like this 380 SL from 1980.
UK-supplied and equipped with the most compact V8 Mercedes-Benz offered at the time, this is a compelling example - even on spec alone. As the pictures show, it's in lovely condition and remains highly original throughout, resplendent in the most period-correct of colour schemes.
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
