Welcome to the listing for my 1985 Mercedes 380SL R107 Auto in metallic light blue! This car drives really well and is a real head turner, from its glossy paintwork and matching dark blue soft top, to its original leather interior, it's a fantastic classic.
The 3.8L V8 engine starts well each time and unbelievably for it's age it has central locking, electric windows, metallic paint, bluetooth stereo and new original speakers, air conditioning and power steering.
Lots of work has been done to the car over the years, the previous owner even had the whole underside coated in anti-rust coating as well as fixing many of its age related bodywork issues costing over £6500! The invoice will be included.
It comes with the original manual and 3 keys, 2 originals and one copy.
In my ownership I've had a full overhaul done by a local mechanic to include fuel pump, bushes, throttle body etc as well as a full service last year to keep it running really well.
It's now MOT and tax exempt which is great and my classic car insurance on it is less than £110 a year.
Whilst it's a lovely looking car and nothing NEEDS to be done, there are a few bits you could choose to do over time. I've included some pictures of areas of rust, many could be left or dealt with if you wish. Internally the drivers seat has a wear patch in the base but I've sourced the original fabric from Germany so it just needs an upholsterer to reupholster this section.
This 380SL has some service history and I have the V5C registration document ready to transfer into your name.
Whilst the mileage may look high, dont forget it's a 41 year old car which is solid German, and totally bulletproof - anyone that's worked on it says it doesn't look or sound like it's done anywhere near 220,000 miles.
Based in the outskirts of Southampton, just off the M3 and M27. Advertised elsewhere so may remove unexpectedly.
