"When you drive it, you're in the clouds, especially when you lower the roof. It gives a feeling of freedom, so I turn on the radio, put it in 'D' and enjoy," says the owner of one of the most desirable classic convertibles. This example of perfect condition arrived in Belgrade via the Atlantic and Latvia and is now being driven around Serbia.

A few years ago, Hurol's dream came true in the form of a tired, but quite good 380SL in MB-355 Diamond Blue color. Originally a California car, this SL crossed the Atlantic and came to Latvia:

"It was completely original, it never had an accident or anything like that, and the man since I bought it has been driving it for some time. I told myself now was the right time, I sold my SL (R129) and bought this one. I imported it to Serbia, got Belgrade license plates and started driving it. "

Owner Hurol points out that: "When you drive it, you are in the clouds, especially when you lower the roof - driving without a roof gives me freedom, a feeling of infinity." Another great quality of the SL is its build quality, which makes it perfectly reliable and practically indestructible:

"Today, it seems that they intentionally make cars of lower quality in order to force consumers to constantly change them. I have an official car in which I can't feel anything I can in SL. It is full of cheap plastic and does not convey any feeling when you drive it. That's why I'm happy whenever I sit in SL, even though it can't be measured in terms of technology. With him, you just turn on the radio, plug in D and enjoy! ”
