Description
Later model 380 in an attractive colour scheme with removable
hard-top; driven to the sale; essential bulkhead works in 2015
Dating from September 1985 this later model Mercedes SL380 hails
from the R107 era and comes to us finished in unusual, and attractive dark
maroon with contrasting black Mohair soft-top, removable factory hard-top and
sits upon its original 14” ‘Mexican Hat’ alloy wheels and looks rather
splendid.
Under the bonnet, we find the
3.8-litre M116 SOHC V8 petrol engine featuring Bosch fuel injection which
develops 215bhp and 300NM of torque driving the rear wheels here via four-speed
automatic transmission.
Inside the cabin, we
find a re-connolised magnolia leather/MB Tex interior, optional rear seats,
matching cream and carpets, Walnut wood trim, electric windows, electric
passenger mirror, heated rear hard-top window, cruise control, retro-fit
radio/CD player and retro-fit outside temperature gauge in the central air
vent.
The car shows 91,583 miles although we
gather the odometer stopped working sometime in 2018/19 according to the vendor
with mileage accruing normally until that time on the Mot
history.
The history file includes the V5C
recording nine former keepers to our vendor, 10 old Mots, the current Mot which
is valid until March 2024 showing no advisories and an instruction manual for
Auto Tops (UK) power top suggesting the car has, or was fitted with a power
soft-top – however, this may or may not be currently fitted, or active – we
raised and lowered the roof in the conventional manual style without
issue.
The file also includes a file of bills
for parts and maintenance including a service dated 2016, four tyres in 2017,
new idle control valve in 2016, welding repairs to the NS inner arch and OS rear
chassis /inner arch in 2016 and importantly repairs to the bulkhead and other
works in 2015 at a cost of £2,737 plus other bills dating back to the late
90s.
A pretty car with lots to
offer.
