Mercedes-Benz 380 SL Parts and Accessories Store

The Mercedes-Benz 380 SL debuted in 1981 as part of the renowned R107 chassis lineup, blending luxury cruising with rock-solid engineering. Positioned between the outgoing 450 SL and later 560 SL, the 380 SL offered a lighter, more fuel-efficient alternative while still embracing the traditional grand touring spirit Mercedes roadsters were known for. With its removable hardtop, soft convertible roof, and signature long-hood silhouette, the 380 SL quickly became a staple among drivers who valued elegance and durability in equal measure.

Powered by a 3.8-liter V8, the 380 SL delivered around 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque, paired to a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic. Though not the most powerful in the R107 family, it gained fans for its composure on the highway and timeless styling. Key reasons enthusiasts still love the 380 SL include:

• Reliable M116 V8 engine with Bosch fuel injection and aluminum block construction.
• Classic SL styling with chrome bumperettes and round sealed-beam headlights.
• Double-row timing chain design (post-1983) that resolved earlier mechanical concerns.
• Optional heated seats, cruise control, and automatic climate control in later models.
• Wood veneer accents and supple leather seating that define 1980s Mercedes interiors.
• Strong aftermarket and OEM parts availability for restoration and preservation.
• Enduring value as a collector’s convertible with global fan support.
