380 SL Auto Black Leather Interior SOLD (1984) | | | This car is in great condition for its age and comes with history, some bills one for over £8k and old mots. The car has been restored to a good standard including new wings and rear wheel arches. The bodywork is excellent with very few marks in fact it looks great. A previous owner re-sprayed the car at considerable expense and the paintwork is great and remains very shinny. The chrome work is also in good condition. The underside of the car is solid and any areas of corrosion have been repaired and waxoyled. The floor pans, sills, inner wings are all sound and the boot area is very clean. The wheels look like brand new and the tyres are fit for a good few more thousand miles. The car has covered 177770 miles, which works out at an average of just over 7,000 miles per year and seems to have been well looked after.
The car comes with a hard top, which is in excellent condition both inside and out with only a couple of little dents on the chrome. There is now a spare soft top and frame with the car which is in very good condition (navy colour) The soft-top has been patched but is too good to replace as it keeps out the rain, is taught and the plastic windows are perfect and clear. You’ll drive the car with the roof down most times so it’s not a problem. There is also an immobiliser fitted and a locking point on the centre console for extra security. The original Blaupunkt stereo radio cassette is fitted and the electric aerial works. There are electric windows and an electric passengers mirror.
Mechanically the car has a beautiful smooth automatic gearbox and drives really well. The car has had a recent top end rebuild with replacement cams. The compression on the engine is top notch, oil pressure is excellent and fuel consumption is in the region of 25+mpg average (approx), which is very good for a V8 automatic. The engine has been serviced recently with new filters, plugs, oil and a set of ignition leads.
The black leather interior is in good condition and has leather rear seats, something that was an expensive option when new. The carpets are in good condition and the seats have a nice patina that lends character to the car. There is MOT until April 2010 and road tax until the end of November 2010. I’m only selling as I don’t have enough storage space. Please email for more photographs. I am willing to pick up buyers from either of Northern Ireland's airports.
