Successor to the European 350SL and American 450SL models, the (R107) 380SL was introduced in March 1980. Utilising the same two-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round coil-sprung independent suspension (wishbone front / semi-trailing arm rear), power-assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessors, the newcomer boasted an enlarged 3839cc SOHC V8 engine and improved four-speed automatic transmission. The vast majority of the 53,200 380SLs made were to left-hand drive specification.

Repatriated back to European shores and the UK this stateside example displays just 22,730 miles from new, so this is an opportunity to experience a low-mileage example. It certainly presents as low miles. Finished in Orient Red the complementing Nappa interior is stylish and very fresh and distinctive. Of course, the SL has the matching hardtop. Additionally, the specification included a passenger door mirror, automatic antenna, front folding armrest, climate control and Green heat-insulated glass. In 2018, comprehensive servicing was carried out by Jeff’s German Auto Repair, of Gainesville, Florida. This included: plugs; steering damper; updated timing chain; sprockets and tensioners; head gaskets; injectors serviced and new seals; resealed timing cover; new oil pan; filters; coolant pump and hoses; calipers replaced and the transmission serviced. In addition, a lot of time was spent resealing and cleaning the injection system. Offered with original bookpack, owner's handbooks and service book, a V5C and a collection of invoices are presented with the car at the time of sale.
