The Appeal

Robust, loaded with luxury and carrying a rock-solid swathe of engine options, the R107 is a car that handles itself with an almost regal level of grace, even if its aesthetic borders on the brutalist. These big, straight-edged roadsters are amongst one of the most successful and well-reputed cars ever to roll off of a Mercedes-Benz production line, and still offer a commanding, capable portrait on the road.

This fine example has been recently registered in the Netherlands, following a long life in California. It's a refined example too, in a desirable triple-blue colour scheme, and appears highly original to factory spec. A great example, ready and waiting to hit the road with its lucky new owner.
