The Mercedes-Benz 380 SL, introduced in 1981, was part of the R107 series, produced from 1971 to 1989. This model combined luxury and sportiness, resulting in a timeless look. The 380 SL was powered by a 3.8-liter V8 engine, which offered a balance between power and driving comfort. This model was known for its high-quality workmanship and use of premium materials, which was typical of Mercedes-Benz at the time. The SL line, which stands for Sport-Leicht, was praised for its excellent handling and ability to drive as both a convertible and coupe thanks to its removable roof.
With a design that reflected the elegance of the 1980s, the Mercedes-Benz 380 SL was a popular choice among car enthusiasts and collectors. The combination of a powerful engine and a refined chassis contributed to Mercedes-Benz's reputation as a manufacturer of luxury vehicles. This model offered a wide range of technological innovations for its time, such as an advanced braking system and a comfortable suspension configuration. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
