The Appeal

The R107 is perhaps the ultimate iteration of the traditional roadster. Bigger, bolder, brasher, handsomely trimmed and with an executive style that no other manufacturer could hold a candle to, it was nonetheless the age-old Mercedes-Benz philosophy that really brought the car into its own - they were rock solid, dependable machines, and continue to be one of the most enduring classics out there.

This fabulous example boasts a rare colourway and plenty of originality - complete with the line's top-flight V8 engine, colour matched removable hard top roof and contrasting black folding soft top. Factor in the long MOT and a history of long term ownership, and you've got a very evocative, very desirable classic - ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
