For those of you just joining the old car hobby you can scarcely do better than an R107 Mercedes-Benz SL of any kind. Handsome durable fun to drive and with great parts availability they are easy cars to own. Even better most folks still think they cost a fortune so showing up in one of these makes you look like an A-lister. Don't worry we won't tell anyone how little this 1985 380SL really costs. Almost everyone in the world can draw one of these from memory and throughout the '80s you couldn't go out in the sun without seeing one.

Fortunately this one is a California car and it comes with all the goodness you'd expect with a pedigree like that. The paint is mostly original with a few touch-ups to keep it in fine order and the sheetmetal underneath is quite straight. Fantastic build quality is a big part of these car's appeal and a key to their longevity and you can feel it just by closing one of the doors. Silver paint gives it a sleek subtle look that ideally suits the 2-seater a grown-up look that doesn't need to resort to flash to make a statement. You'll also note that the rubber bumpers are in excellent shape and not cooked by the sun and the chrome remains shiny. The gray leather seats are rather rare as most SLs carried MB-Tex vinyl. The natural materials add a luxurious warmth to the interior and remain in fantastic condition with minimal wear and none of the expected signs of age. The seats are firm and comfortable for all-day cruising and supportive enough for the spirited driving for which this car is intended. There's also natural wood on the center console and big no-nonsense instruments behind a massive steering wheel. By 1985 most of these came loaded with every available convenience feature including automatic climate control power windows and locks and a tilt steering column. The top of the dash is perhaps the on Price: $12,995
