This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL is a classic luxury roadster that combines timeless German styling with open-air driving enjoyment. Finished in red over a tan interior, this SL presents an elegant color combination that complements its clean body lines, signature chrome grille, quad headlights, and classic Mercedes-Benz styling. The car has been under the same ownership since 1999, offering a notable history spanning more than 25 years.
Power comes from a 3.8L V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering the smooth, refined performance expected from Mercedes-Benz's SL lineup. The 380 SL was part of the R107 generation, a series celebrated for its durable engineering, comfortable touring characteristics, and enduring appeal among classic Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts.
The exterior is finished in red and features traditional Mercedes-Benz details, including chrome accents, factory-style alloy wheels, and the distinctive front fascia. This example is equipped with both a matching red removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top, providing versatility for different seasons and driving conditions. With the hardtop installed, the SL takes on a more formal grand-touring appearance, while lowering the soft top allows for an enjoyable open-air driving experience.
Inside, the tan interior creates a warm contrast against the red exterior, reflecting the understated luxury that defined Mercedes-Benz roadsters of this era. The cabin emphasizes comfort and classic styling, making the car well suited to relaxed weekend drives, scenic touring, and local car gatherings.
Showing 96,239 miles, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL offers an appealing combination of long-term ownership history, V8 power, classic roadster styling, and two-top versatility. With its red exterior, tan interior, automatic transmission, and removable hardtop alongside the black convertible top, this R107 SL represents an attractive opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a vintage Mercedes-Benz convertible with timeless character.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
