The Appeal

The R107 is the natural conclusion of the roadster. Big, boxy and executive-trimmed machines with remarkable build quality and a charisma that felt purpose-built for the Hollywood Hills, it's little wonder they've become a keystone classic for enthusiasts today.

This 1983 example has been in the current owner's care for approximately eight years, during which time it has been garage-stored. Earlier in 2026, it underwent major mechanical work and received four new tyres, carried out by marque specialist Edward Hall, with a detailed invoice on file. With a valid MOT until April 2027 and a good history file accompanying the car, this is a great proposition - pure Mercedes magic.
