While sparsely used and showing nice condition – there are a few minor splits near rear window and top. A replacement top can be acquired at our cost if new owner desires.
Our review of mechanical and driving condition: One of the better 380SL’s we have driven. There is zero hesitation or rough idle. Very strong through all the gears shifting smooth and correctly. Vehicle behaves nicely on the road without any pull or sway. A wonderful last year model 380 with tight steering and very comfortable suspension. Brakes with nice stopping power fairly effortlessly. Starts right up every time. Does not appear to have any leak issues at this time. A recent oil change was performed. and Just completed California emissions.
Tidy engine bay compartment. Ultra clean trunk and spare wheel area. Undercarriage reflects correct California hygiene without any corrosion issues.
We just had all 4 bundt style alloys restored to original factory condition. They received brand new Febi Billstein lug bolts and wear 14 inch Michelin correctly sized tires that show good tread.
AC is still original R12 factory equipment and blows cold air correctly on all fan speeds.
MB service booklet with stamps, dates and mileage showing service history. Full handbooks and manuals. 2 key fobs including valet. Original spare and jack.
