This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL was purchased by its last owner in January 1998 and has been driven approximately 60k miles since. Now showing just under 241k miles, the car is described as stock throughout and is powered by a 3.8-liter V8 paired to an automatic transmission. Approximately $14k in service was performed in July 2021 and included a valve job, new shocks, transmission work, a new timing chain tensioner, and more as detailed below. This Mercedes is now being offered in France by the selling dealer with a matching hardtop, 19 years of service records a clean California title and import papers stating all import duties were paid.
The seller states that this car has not received any paint or bodywork to the current owner’s knowledge. A few scratches are reportedly present in the chrome bumpers, and the body appears straight in these pictures. During the recent service a new windshield, muffler, and rear shocks were installed.
The original body-colored hardtop is included. As highlighted in the photo gallery, one of the chrome panels that the hardtop clips into is cracked. All-season 215/70 series tires are fitted to the factory 14″ alloy wheels.
The cabin reportedly retains its original upholstery, carpeting, and trim. In these pictures, the dashboard does not appear to display warps or cracking.
The seller states that the climate control functions intermittently, though all other functions are said to be in good working order. The odometer shows just under 241k miles.
To the seller’s knowledge, the 3.8-liter V8 has been maintained in stock specification. In July 2021, around $14k was spent on maintenance, including the aforementioned services plus a valve job, rebuilt speedometer/odometer, new fuel pump, filters/hoses, transmission work (new seals, front pump, front flex disc, and mount), a new catalytic converter, new water pump and thermostat, new timing chain tensioner and sliding rails, and new steering gearbox seals. Complete service records from the past 24 years are included.
The seller states that this R107 was purchased in Southern California and has spent the past 19 years there and in Nevada. Additional undercarriage pictures are displayed in the photo gallery below.
