1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SLC C107 - under 31,500 miles

Highlights

• Right-hand drive example with the all-alloy 3.8-litre V8
• Won its class and best interior in show at the Mercedes-Benz Club National Concours in 2021
• Maintained by the specialist SL Shop for the last 10 years
• Wax oil protected from new
• History file with 19 service stamps and original documentation

The Appeal

The C107 was the grand touring coupé sibling to the R107 SL, offering S-Class levels of comfort on a longer wheelbase with a fixed roof. Produced only in the final months of the model's run, the 380SLC paired the all-alloy 3.8-litre V8 with Fuchs alloy wheels, only spicing up the rich SL formula that Mercedes-Benz had become so known for.

This particular car has reportedly been well cared for throughout its life. The vendor, a Mercedes-Benz Club member, entered the car at the Club's National Concours in 2021, where it took its class and the award for best interior in show. Finished in Silver Blue over Blue Velour - a period-correct and desirable combination - and equipped with an electric sunroof, four electric windows, and cruise control, this 380SLC should appeal to the touring coupé enthusiast.
