EBay does not recognize European Vin #'s (Vehicle Identification Numbers) that is why the 0’s on EBay’s Vehicle Identification Numbers section of the listing. This beautiful 380SE has the beautiful original Sea Foam green high gloss metallic exterior and is matched perfectly with a gorgeous Parchment tan interior. This stunning 1owner Mercedes Benz was privately imported into California by a wealthy business owner who wanted the performance and build quality of a European Mercedes Benz, it was imported through an independent dealer and has always been meticulously maintained and serviced. The classic Mercedes is in mint condition. I have seen a lot of these cars and this one is the nicest 380 SE’s I have ever seen. The car is absolutely magnificent to look at and definitely stands out where ever you go; I have seen near new cars with more signs of wear and usage than this car. If you are in the market for a mint condition European 380 SE’s look at the pictures closely, I guarantee this car will definitely be worth looking at. Even the pictures don t do justice for this fine classic Mercedes. NOTE: There are reflections visible in the photos, which can be mistaken for flaws that aren't there, please ask if you have questions. This amazing car has been sheltered and well cared in Southern California by the original owner, While It was not driven regularly the owners made sure to start and warm the car up at least once a week in order to keep all systems in good physical shape. The owner would not drive the car in conditions he felt would harm this mint condition car. The car is accident and rust free and is all original. The vibrant Parchment tan interior accents the beautiful exterior absolutely beautifully. The dash and The Burl Wood accents are in beautiful condition without the typical cracking or fading expected for its age. The door panels and all the carpets including the trunk carpet are exceptionally well preserved. Mechanically the car is just as nice as the exterior if not even nicer with all systems functioning flawlessly starting with the factory air conditioning, The car always starts and idles very quietly and smoothly, stays nice and cool, has excellent oil pressure and does not smoke, at times it’s hard to tell if the car is running. When needed or desired, the car can also be driven quickly; once the accelerator is pushed the engine truly comes to life revealing its heritage and true sports car nature. There are no visible leaks or any other signs of neglect or abuse independently verified through independent inspection and the Carfax history indicates a vehicle that has been exceptionally cared for. The transmission, brakes and suspension feel just as nice. The car is a true joy to drive and everything looks feels and even smells the way a well maintained and respected Mercedes should. The car is very solid and stable on the road and the suspension and brakes bring this car through curves and to a full stand still in no time flat. This car feels solid with no or minimal body flex. Without a doubt the 380 SE is one of the most solid and secure luxury cars ever produced. The car is well equipped, it even comes with a very rare and for its time expensive Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) see photos which was well ahead of its time. In the trunk you will find the original, spare tire and wheel which looks like it has never on the ground. In the trunk storage compartment you will find the original jack, Mercedes Benz emergency triangle. This outstanding car comes with a clean California Title (See photos) and current Registration which means the car has passed the country’s toughest EPA emissions and strict safety regulations. It is becoming difficult to find these Euro 380 SE’s in such pristine condition. Chances of seeing or finding one like this is slim to none. As an investment, it is important to understand that the prices for these cars are rising they will rise rapidly in the near future. Just like the previous generation of 1960’s and 1970’s classics have done, this upward trend will soon make these artfully crafted cars unavailable for most people. For now this car is not only a prudent and still affordable investment, however unlike most other classics it can be enjoyed everyday. From a recent business article: "There has been a surge in interest from collectors around the globe focusing on high end European luxury and sports car from the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, they are consider the next frontier of assets that will provide great return on investments, in fact some of my clients have left others markets and have put a portion of their portfolios into this lucrative classic car market, as with gold it will never be worth 0, like many stocks are these days in fact portions of the classic car market have out paced the overall stock market" The European 380 SE has reached its value point a long time ago and has been and will steadily continue to rapidly gain in value, some original Euro models 380 SE’s have been selling for more than three times the amount of what an average condition 380 SE would sell for, and in Europe and other parts of the world clean well preserved Euro 380 SE’s cars can bring even substantially more then its underpowered American counterparts. This classic Mercedes has the exceptional durability, reliability and build quality expected of a flag ship Mercedes.
