Description

Mercedes-Benz 380 SE – V8, Silverdistel Metallic, Olive Leather

Commanding S-Class from the 126 series. Eight cylinders, an exceptional color combination, and the charm of the early 1980s.

There are color combinations that are hardly ever seen on a car today. This Mercedes-Benz 380 SE is a particularly beautiful example: Silverdistel Metallic on the outside, with olive leather inside. A combination that fits perfectly into its era and gives the large S-Class a remarkably distinctive presence.

The 380 SE dates from 1980 and belongs to the W126 series, with which Mercedes-Benz set benchmarks in the luxury segment at the time. Understated design, high-quality workmanship, and a strong emphasis on comfort and safety made the series one of the most significant Mercedes models of its era.

Under the long hood is a 3.8-liter V8 producing 218 hp. Unlike the six-cylinder versions, the 380 SE offers the confident power delivery and characteristic sound of an eight-cylinder engine that give this powerplant its special appeal. Power is transmitted via a comfortable four-speed automatic transmission.

The equipment also reflects the high standards of the S-Class of that era. An electrically adjustable driver's seat, air conditioning, electric sunroof, cruise control, electric windows all around, central locking, and self-leveling suspension are included, as are ABS and rear headrests. A Wurm catalytic converter is also fitted.

The odometer currently shows 173,500 kilometers. The vehicle has had four previous owners and a traceable history, including the original vehicle invoice, data card, and many other documents.

The Mercedes 380 SE, which we are offering on behalf of its owner, sits on Fuchs wheels that give the classic S-Class a particularly fitting appearance. The rear window frame has already been extensively restored.

What distinguishes this 380 SE is the combination of the refined V8, the high level of comfort of the 126 series, and a color combination that is not seen every day. An S-Class from an era when Mercedes-Benz interpreted the concept of automotive luxury in a highly individual way.

A classic Mercedes for people who appreciate the distinctive character of the early W126 models – and enjoy the effortless performance of an eight-cylinder engine.
