Long-term ownership, highly original, both tops, and a true V8 cruiser style - this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the luxury classic that has everything you want. Mercedes built these R107 SLs correctly from day one, so if you find a well-preserved example like this, age is barely a factor. Good sheet metal, complete trim, and German-engineered precision in the panel fit tell you that you're looking at a proper classic Mercedes. In fact, we're told this is a two-owner car and that the low odometer (averaging under 1k miles annually) is believed to reflect the full actual mileage. And a car like this deserves proper care. It has a terrific color combo where the factory-correct Champagne Metallic has a sophisticated and harmonizing tone with both the brown folding roof and brown leather interior. Plus, the bright trim of the color-matched hardtop really makes this look like a stylish coupe. So take a closer look at a well-respected premium classic convertible.

We like the level of care in this Benz. It shows the proper two-owner respect in everything from the feel of the interior materials to the smooth idle of the V8. The sale even comes with a cable lift to make it easier to add/remove the hardtop in your garage. You really get the feeling that this car has been kept correctly in the kind of condition where you were meant to be able to go and enjoy this on a whim. So no matter if you're thinking about a weekday driver classic or a weekend getaway machine, you should be thinking about this SL. Call today!!!
