The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz R107 series is one of the company's most enduring luxury sports convertibles, with its 18-year production run (1971-1989) being the longest of any Mercedes-Benz passenger car series. Rugged, durable and comfortable, these roadsters really took the familiar top-down formula to its ultimatum - something bigger, bolder and built to last.
This particular 1980 example features the ever-popular arctic silvery livery with a black interior, complemented by both a matching hard top (recently resprayed) and a Navy soft top. With comprehensive service documentation and a remarkably low mileage, this R107 appears to have been maintained with care and will make a fabulous addition to your classic fleet.
