The Appeal

Developing their roadster for a new generation, Mercedes-Benz opted to refine the R107 into a more slicked back, comfortable and modern car when it hit the market in '88. It didn't lose any of that essential character, though, and the R129 quickly gained just as strong a reputation amongst enthusiasts for its rock-solid build quality.

This handsome 1999 example comes to us from the USA. Offered in a stylish black livery with an impressive host of features and options, it's ready and waiting for the new owner to register it in Europe and return it to the road.
