Highlights
- Attractive Signal Red with MB Tex beige interior

- Economical and powerful 2.8L straight six engine
The Appeal
Whether you’re planning a 2026 long distance road trip, or just fancy some stylish wheels for weekend trips out for Sunday lunch, a good R107 fits the bill. Handsome and extremely comfortable, they make driving effortless. And all that’s before we mention the Teutonic build quality.
This Signal Red R107 is fitted with the 2.8L M110 straight six motor. It’s a good choice because at 185bhp it’s usefully powerful, yet offers decent real-world economy for those aforementioned trips. It is in good condition, particularly the smart beige MB Tex cabin, and benefits from lots of recent work, including welding repairs.
Despite now being MOT and tax exempt, it comes with the useful transparency of a long, advisory-free MT. With the choice of hard top or folding fabric roof, this is a versatile, usable and well-presented example of one of classic motoring’s perennial favourites.
