Tire
tread shows as fair, bumper guards are in good shape




This front-end would look much better if were clean

Under-carriage
area shows fairly well



Lines
are straight for hood/fender

The
exterior trim is also pretty good condition.
The chrome on the front and rear bumpers is shiny and straight.
They fit with no unusual
gaps or misalignment.
The
other exterior trim is also in decent shape but the plastic
around the headlights shows some wear. The glass on the
car is free from cracks, or damage. The power windows are
fully functional. The front windshield is free from any
cracks, "stars" or any damage. The car has the
original style Mercedes windshield wiper arms and 100% functional.
A couple of small rust bubbles inside the door jambs, but
overall jambs are solid.

Plastic
around headlamps shows some wear here also


Close-up
of the tire tread

The
doors, hood, and trunk line up extremely well,
with even gaps, and close easily and securely. The doors
do not sag, and the hinges are solid and rust free. The
undersides of the hood and trunk are free from rust, and
in good condition. The engine has not been cleaned up for
the photographs, and you can see pine needles, and some
cob webs indicating that the car has not been used, and
stored outdoors under a carport.

Peak
at the motor components



The
380 SL was built from about 1981 to 1985. The 380 SL was
the least powerful of the US imported R107 roadsters. Some
of these cars also had a single timing chain which had to
be serviced or replaced with a double chain to avoid serious
engine problems. The 380
SL in this ad has indeed had the double timing chain installed
to prevent any problems.
