1982 Mercedes-Benz R107 380SL with Quartz Cloth (268)
Thistle Green (881) with Quartz Cloth (268) / 380SL
Principal Facts:
Finished in Thistle Green metallic, this 380 SL was given its pre-delivery inspection at Alan Day Ltd, on the Finchley Road in November ‘82, with it subsequently being registered in Feb ’83 for the first owner to collect. Specified with a limited slip differential, air conditioning and 15-hole light alloy wheels, in the 41 years since the first owner collected it it’s changed hands a number of times, these owners, collectively, having added 71,504 miles to its odometer.
The most recent owner is the most relevant since the first, having purchased it at auction in ‘21 before instigating a thorough mechanical and cosmetic overhaul to return it to the condition it presents itself in today. A great opportunity to buy a 380 SL that’s had lots of money spent on it recently, in a classic colour combination that’s ready to drive away and enjoy this coming summer.

INDUSTRY TRUSTED
I have followed SLSHOP with interest for some years now and recently took the plunge and purchased my dream car – they did not disappoint!
The whole experience from start to finish was superb. Their communication was excellent and they kept me
informed every step of the way. Thank you and I look forward to my next purchase!
I have just purchased a 280SL from SLSHOP. I have already purchased several parts from SLSHOP and have found all members of staff most helpful and it is more like dealing with a club than a commercial enterprise I would highly recommend using SLSHOP for cars, parts and most importantly impartial advice.
They put up with my indecision, inexperience and last minute demands and my car is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The most impressive thing about them is the after care though. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they’ve given me the best advice to make sure I get the most out of my car. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them all?
