The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz 420 SL R107 is a classic that stands the test of time. It's gone down in history as a roadster that can handle both city and motorway driving, with its iconic retro styling and top-notch build quality offering perhaps one of the most iconic classics on the market.
This particular example has been lovingly restored. The car has been repainted in its original Signal Red, and several new parts have been fitted, including a radiator, tyres, windscreen, and more. With a fully stamped service book and a recent MOT certificate passed without any advisories, this classic is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
