The Appeal
The R107’s appeal is well established. What makes good examples of these relaxing, beautifully engineered cars stand out is low mileage, history and - of course - condition.
The rare Light Ivory of this car is just the start of its appeal. It has covered just 61,000 miles from new in the hands of only four keepers. Well specified from the factory with beige leather and rear seats, it is in superb condition inside and out. The provenance includes attention by the The SL Shop in 2023, from whom the the vendor acquired it. The specialist serviced, checked over and prepped it.
The thick history file includes records of regular servicing throughout its life to confirm the low mileage. It comes to market with a long MOT. This great cars seems to tick most if not all the boxes for these highly regarded cars.
