1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL R107

Pre-bids

Highlights

  • Excellent base for a restoration and recommissioning
  • Accompanied by 13 old MOT certificates documenting mileage from 1992 to 2015
  • Only about 400 miles covered since March 2015
  • Engine reported to start easily and run well

The Appeal

For over 18 years, the R107 was Mercedes-Benz' golden boy. Executive trims, a boxy silhouette and timeless proportions have made these one of the ultimate iterations of the Sport Leicht lineage, and one of the most iconic roadsters of all time. All of this is helped along by the car's excellent build quality, which has made the R107 a must-have classic for many. 
This 1982 car has spent some time sitting idle and is now ready for recommissioning for the road. It comes with a useful history file including 13 old MOT certificates that chart the mileage from 57,263 miles in May 1992 through to 98,548 in March 2015, with only about 400 miles added since. The engine is reported to start easily and run well, and all gears are said to engage cleanly, providing a solid mechanical foundation for the work ahead. It's a solid base for a cosmetic restoration that we're sure will prove very rewarding.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
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 request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is "Sold As Seen", on an "As Is Where Is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ 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. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
