1981 Mercedes 380SLC - rare high spec car SOLD

This lovely car has been owned by me for 20 years and in that time it has been very well looked after. I am upset to be selling but I have downsized and no longer have room to keep this old girl in the style to which she has become accustomed.

Full body restoration approx 5 years ago which included 2 new wings, new corrugated panels in front of rear arches, new nearside bumper chrome and a complete respray in the original Lapis Blue (a rare colour only used for 2 years ) .
At the same time the drivers seat bolster was re-upholstered in matching grey leather to repair the usual wear patch.

I have just had the sills and front and rear skirts repainted to tidy up the odd chip.

Mechanically excellent with beautiful smooth V8 power delivery through 4 speed auto box . The brakes underwent a complete overhaul by Roger Edwards Motors 9 years ago and the car has covered very little mileage since - approx. 5000 miles!

I have just had the gearbox adjusted to perfection ready for the new owner.

I have a lot of history , including correspondence from the first owner and all the MOT certificates since 1993 . It was sold to the 2nd owner in 1995 and to me in 1999.

This car is now very rare . There are currently only 52 registered in the UK and this is a very high spec. 'last production year'car.
Spec includes :
Air Con.
Heated seats
Leather interior
Burr Walnut Wood (not the common Zebrano)
Cruise Control
Headlamp wash wipe
Electric Sunroof
Central locking

All in all , this is a great practical classic .
It has 5 seats - yes, you can take the whole family with you!
Reasonably economical - 25 mpg on the motorway and I only pay around £100 per year for Classic Insurance with Footman James. It will become tax free in 2021.
Must be a good investment too - there are examples for sale at £30K plus now.
MOT until November 2019 and all old MOTs to support mileage . I am shocked to see that I have only driven 200 miles some years !

Available to view in Folkestone, Kent or Sutton, Surrey by arrangement .
