The Appeal
Less than 1% of contemporary buyers selected the Silbergrun metallic (silver green metallic) option, and looking at this stylish car it is difficult to understand why. It is a great colour and suits the R107, in particular accenting its extensive chromework.
This USA market car adds the firm’s 225bhp 4.5L M117 V8 to its appeal. It is in good order with low miles for the year, making it perfect for a Europrean road trip.
The car comes with a smart cream Palomino MBTex interior, brown fabric roof and matching hard top. It is said to be a matching numbers vehicle and carries USA title with complete Dutch importation documentation.
