The Appeal
The various V8-engined R107 SLs are about as effortless as motoring gets. These handsome, stylish cars are built to make short work of long distances. The 3.8L 380SL makes a good choice for modern road trips because it is nearly as powerful as the bigger-engined V8s but delivers acceptable real-world economy.
This 1983 380SL is attractively finished in Midnight Blue with twin coachlines, polished alloys and a popular Palomino leather interior. It comes with matching hard top and blue roof. The CARFAX report is said to be clean and documents a damage-free history.
With low mileage for its year, this recentl arrival from a dry USA state would make a great touring car.
