The Appeal
Perhaps one of history’s all-time greatest classics, the R107 is a great example of a roadster that seemed to simply get everything right. From its big, boxy styling to its stylish inner trims, right through to that magnificent swathe of big old powerplants, to this day, they’re immensely enduring cars, still more than capable out on the road.
This example - picked out in a lovely deep red - is a particularly fine looker. Trimmed with a beautifully contrasting brown MB-Tex. With periods of long ownership and a recent, comprehensive restoration, the car comes to us in top-notch fettle, ready and waiting to be driven away.
