Loved my 380SL!

I was always quite happy with my 1984 380SL. Beautiful car, great performance, no mechanical problems at all. Perhaps the only complaints I had were that the convertible top, which is not electric, was difficult to put up and down, and that it sits very low to the ground. The latter is only a problem if you have bad knees like I do.

This should be "has this car aged well?" No.

I love the style of this car and the performance I actually drove it 120 mph on three occasions. It is a v8 and naturally gets bad gas mileage but the biggie is that the timing was fast and couldn't be repaired.

Great handling in town and the open road!

This vehicle is a "KODAK" moment. Rarely do I return to the vehicle without finding a "camera bug" snapping away. The compliments follow! In parades, with top down, heads turn. TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP!!

Safe fast heavy and classic

The car with a hardtop as convertible, with soft top built in! A car that turns heads and best of all is easy to work on and new this car was a 100 grand and now it's affordable to buy less than 40 grand !
