Do not pay until those details and vehicle availability are confirmed.

Transparent totals: No undisclosed Aurelia service or intermediary fees. Applicable sales tax, title, registration and any agreed third-party charges must be itemized or expressly included in your written total before payment. The displayed deposit is calculated on the vehicle price.

Installment options depend on an available lender, eligibility and approval. Rates, term, total finance cost and any lien are disclosed before you commit; approval is not guaranteed.

Every listing has a vehicle-specific enquiry or reservation option. Availability is confirmed individually. Sold, delisted and unpriced vehicles require a sourcing request or written quote before a deposit can be accepted.

THE DETAILS

About this vehicle

Now here’s a lovely cruiser for someone to enjoy, whether they’re sixteen or sixty years old. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster hails from the hallowed R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class luxury grand tourer. This generation was made between 1971 and 1989, and of the 300,000 plus cars that were made, over two thirds came to North America. The car was a cult classic with the rich and famous, or even infamous. Now, cars like this are becoming fantastic classics to own and drive, as well as the perfect way to experience a classic Mercedes-Benz drive without giving up too many comfort features. For example, this 91,112-mile machine rocks a 4-speed automatic transmission, which was one of the key upgrades for the 1981 model year.
