Description from the seller
This neat Mercedes-Benz 380 SL from 1982 runs well and has attracted a lot of attention recently. It is an absolute classic that draws a lot of admiring glances. The Mercedes-Benz R107 is one of the most iconic and longest-produced model ranges of the German luxury car brand. This 'Sport Leicht' (SL) roadster was built between 1971 and 1989 and is worldwide known for its unmatched build quality, timeless elegance, and comfortable driving characteristics.
BODYWORK & PAINT
The body is in good condition and shows no rust spots. The chrome is also in very good condition. The soft top is still in good condition and does not leak. The hardtop is also in top condition. Some rubber seals are due for replacement. There have been small repairs to the body here and there. The body is solid and does not require welding. The paint shows no major damage and is tight. Light stone chips are present.
TECHNICAL
The tires and brakes have been replaced, all filters and oil have also been replaced. All functions in the car work except the air conditioning. Occasionally the cruise control hesitates. Furthermore the engine runs very nicely and starts reliably in warm or cold conditions. The Mercedes rides smoothly on the road and makes no strange noises while driving. The 4-speed automatic transmission shifts well through all gears.
INTERIOR
The upholstery of the interior is still in very nice condition. The leather shows no damage and is still in absolute top condition. The wooden parts show light signs of use. The interior lighting, radio and all gauges in the instrument panel work properly.
DOCUMENTS
The Mercedes is currently registered with a valid Dutch license plate. There is obviously the possibility to make export papers for registration in another country. All original stickers are still in the door and there is also documentation from America and proof of paid import duties still available.
The car can be picked up in Heerenveen, Netherlands. It can also be shipped from this location.

Disclaimer
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.
