The Appeal
Since its debut in 1971, the Mercedes-Benz R107 series has left a lasting impression that perhaps even the marque itself never expected. Designed as the successor to the legendary W113 Pagoda, the R107 set new standards in comfort, performance and safety, with its timeless, rugged design and equally rugged build quality becoming the stuff of legend.
This 1983 example has been well maintained and is reported to run, drive, and shift well, with the engine bay and boot area neatly cared for. The car comes with all booklets and a clean Carfax report, and is still carrying its US title - so will need to be registered in its new home country.
