The Appeal
One of the golden feathers in the cap of Mercedes-Benz, the R107 was a triumph the moment it rolled off of the production line. With powerful, angular lines, top-notch build quality and big, beefy powerplants, the German brand had created one of the ultimate evolutions of the classic roadster.
This specific example, presented in a desirable colour combo of silver with a black gingham interior, has been serviced regularly by the current owner over the past seven years, and now comes to us in fine fettle. If you've been after a luxurious, tough but inimitably refined roadster, this is the ideal opportunity.
