Mercedes 380 SL, model year 1983.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Mercedes 380 SL with soft-top and hard-top is a delightful cruiser.
It is still a beautiful sight and has become a lovely classic car, attracting as much attention as it did when it was new. The car was originally delivered in Canada and came to the Netherlands via Belgium some time ago. It has not been used much, and there are a few things to improve, after which it will be great to enjoy it.
Documents
The car has been newly delivered in Canada, import duties and taxes have been paid, and with the available documents and the seller's sales invoice, the car can be easily registered. An instruction manual is included (English language).
Bodywork
Very neat. The car looks truly magnificent, and the underside is also in good condition. It has always been well cared for; the softtop is old but closes properly, and the plastic windows of the softtop are somewhat faded. The hardtop is neat and in color, but the rear window shows cracks.
Technical
The car starts immediately, drives well, and also steers and brakes effectively. It is advisable to have a maintenance check before using the car, as it has been used minimally in recent years. This applies to any used car, including this Mercedes. Any minor oil leak should also be inspected promptly.
Interior
The interior looks reasonably tidy. The seat upholstery is outdated and torn, similar to some parts of the dashboard. There are, in fact, various solutions available to restore it to a neat condition. The radio has not been tested for functionality, but a manual is available.
Transport:
The car is located in Hengevelde, Netherlands, and can naturally be picked up here. The car can be delivered within the Netherlands for an additional 150 euros (excluding the Wadden Islands).
The seller can have the car delivered relatively inexpensively across the entire EU by a professional carrier.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
