The Appeal

Want a big, strong, executive-level roadster? For many, there's only one solution - the ever-impressive R107. Hewn from granite as only a Merc' used to be, these straight-faced, slab-sided sports cars were the stuff of legend, and are one of the most enduring classics of all.

This particular example has benefited from careful family ownership over the past 7-8 years, having been passed down from father to son. The vehicle presents well for its age, with the current owner's expertise as a former vehicle painter ensuring the exterior has been maintained to a high standard.

This fine car is ready and waiting to go, and will no doubt impress the lucky enthusiast who gets behind the wheel.
