Boasting effortless, laid-back V8 cruising ability with the robust build quality for which Stuttgart is renowned, the higher-spec R107s remain some of the most accomplished tourers ever built - one of the ultimate renditions of the familiar roadster format. Big, bulky proportions, brutalist lines and executive comfort - it's an arresting formula that's still bound to appeal.
This 1978 example has been in the current owner's hands for a decade and has benefited from significant cosmetic attention during that time. Mechanically, the car is running but will need servicing to bring it up to scratch. This is best viewed as a project with much of the heavy cosmetic lifting already completed — an appealing proposition for an enthusiast looking to put their own stamp on a classic SL.015.JPG20.56 MB
