The Appeal
The R107 is one of the most important components of the Mercedes-Benz repertoire, and it's for very good reason. With its timeless styling, comfortable cabins and luxurious trims, the car was as impressive to look at as it was to drive. Couple these characteristics with top-notch build quality, and it's little wonder they're often regarded as one of the most essential classics on the market.
This particular model, registered at the end of the R107 production, is a great example that has been regularly but sympathetically used. Benefiting from remedial work including bulkhead repairs and various service items, this attractive roadster comes to us now in utterly fine fettle.
This stylish Pearl Grey car comes with a comprehensive history file, including old MOTs to 2005, a stamped service book, numerous invoices, and photographic evidence of the bulkhead's restorative work. The result is a highly desirable example of one of Mercedes-Benz' all time greatest models.
