Description
A Classic Icon
A true emblem of 1970s and 1980s motoring, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL represents a masterful combination of engineering integrity, aesthetic restraint, and everyday usability. Constructed on the robust W114 saloon platform yet powered by engines derived from the larger S-Class series, the R107 achieved an exceptional equilibrium—offering speed, refinement, structural integrity, and timeless design. It was widely praised by contemporary motoring press, adopted enthusiastically by executives, and remains remarkably competent in modern driving conditions.
The R107 occupies a distinguished place among classic automobiles—frequently seen in numbers at concours events, presenting a formidable presence of understated luxury. These are substantial roadsters, notable both for their generous proportions and their superior build quality, developed during a period when Mercedes-Benz was widely regarded as setting the global benchmark.

. Strictly no time wasters. Car is sold as seen. The 107 stands out because of its balance: a grand tourer that is equally at home on long continental drives as it is navigating city streets. It offers a rare blend of durability, refinement, and understated elegance—qualities that are increasingly scarce in modern vehicles.
What makes this particular example unique is the colour combination. A classic with a sand leather interior is both rare and beautifully complementary. It’s a pairing that speaks of quiet confidence rather than ostentation. Add to that the galvanised chassis, the original factory hard top, and a full documented history—it’s a car with provenance as much as presence.
My favourite aspect of this classic is the sense of occasion it brings to even the most mundane journey. The weight of the doors, the clarity of the instrumentation, the restrained elegance of the dashboard—all serve as reminders that this was a car built to last, not to chase trends. It offers a kind of mechanical integrity and tactility that has all but disappeared.
