Often touted as a top-notch example of German engineering, the R107 is one of the many hard-as-nails classics now attributed to Mercedes-Benz. With boxy styling, executive-level trims and a swathe of well-reputed I6s and V8s, they're an essential classic that continues to delight any enthusiast, and amongst the most iconic Mercs in history.
This particular car, imported from the USA in 2020, has been well maintained and retains much of its original factory paint. A few touches of cosmetic restoration later, and this classic presents in fine fettle through and through. The mechanics of the car are reported to be in fine fettle, with the car having been fully serviced.
