Description
Current
owner 14 years; nice period colour scheme; clean MOT; a most attractive
example of this classic Roadster
First registered on Valentine's Day
1983, this handsome 380SL comes from long term 14-year ownership and presents
very well for its age in a classic period colour
scheme.
Fitted with a 3.8-litre V8 producing
215bhp sent to the rear wheels via three-speed automatic transmission, this
380SL looks great in gold metallic with what appears to be beautifully straight
bodywork and a nice paint finish. Showing 102,541 miles,
the interior presents very well for the age and comes
with two-tone cream and brown leather seats, wood centre console with
contrasting black dash top, all appearing to be in good condition with little
wear or damage.
Coming with 19 old MOT
certificates, a smattering of older invoices and other miscellaneous
paperwork, it also comes with a factory hardtop which looks very
smart apart from some misting of the glass on both sides of
the rear window (see photos). The brown canvas soft top fits snugly
and looks to be in very good shape.
Driving
very nicely on site, the V8 seems to be pulling well and the gearbox is smooth,
the engine bay itself looks very clean and tidy in keeping with the rest of the
car. Although it no longer needs one, it has an MOT until 31st January 2025 with
no advisories recorded.
Overall, this is a
great-looking and seemingly well-kept example of an increasingly popular '80s
sportscar that is ready to enjoy over the coming summer
months.
