The Appeal
Replacing the ever-iconic R107 roadster, the R129 had big boots to fill for the imminent 90s - and was more than capable. With its modernised styling and impressive leather interior, the car wasn’t just a successor - it was an upgrade.
This example is in rare order, still carrying its factory paintwork and interior - and boasts plenty of time on its MOT, with zero advisories.
