The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz R107 is a timeless classic, Quintessential retro, the car's distinctive, boxy design and robust engineering have made it a favourite among car enthusiasts. This particular 1989 model is one of the last of its kind, featuring numerous modifications and enhancements over the pre-1985/6 cars. Its Arctic White exterior and ultra-rare mid-red leather interior make it a unique example of the model.
This vehicle has always been garaged and was initially supplied in the Channel Islands where roads are not salted, which no doubt is a big influence on its solid, clean underside. It has been exceptionally well-maintained, with 19 service stamps in the book and a recent comprehensive service. It also retains its original hardtop, with the vehicle's chassis number stamped on the underside.
