The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL is widely regarded as one of the most elegant and well-engineered convertibles of its era, with the 380SL sitting pretty in that perfect mid-point of performance and luxury. This particular 1984 example, finished in the desirable Lapis Blue metallic, represents the model in its most refined form after over a decade of production refinements.

This 380SL stands out with its documented history including the original purchase invoice, complete books, and a clean CARFAX report confirming its mileage and damage-free past. The car has been thoughtfully refreshed with a new interior, carpets, and soft top, while maintaining its matching numbers status. With recent servicing completed less than 1,000 miles ago, this R107 has recently arrived in Europe - all the buyer has to do is have her inspected and registered.
