One of four W107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL sports cars in our sale today, this is the mid-range model with the 3.8-litre V8 that was launched in 1980 to replace the 350SL and was in turn replaced in 1985 by the 420SL. Producing 215bhp and 221lb/ft of torque, it was good for a top speed of 134mph.
Dating from 1983, this particular 380SL has covered less than 80,000 miles from new and is said to be in good condition throughout and to drive well. Supplied with both hard and soft tops, it has recently been fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system, new drive belts and hoses, a new radiator and new water pump. Five new alloy wheels and tyres were also fitted less than 1,000 miles ago. With a current MOT and tax it is ready to drive away today.
