The Appeal
Timeless, robust, and capable - the R107 is one of the industry's most widely-lauded roadsters. These big, boxy cars are so persistent, so utterly enduring because they simply get everything as close to 'right' as they can. They perform well, they're built out of stern stuff and they're immensely comfortable.
This 1989 example boasts a very impressive Light Ivory colour scheme, and has clearly been very well looked after, with a history of dry storage and plenty of paperwork. It's a great opportunity to take on one of Mercedes-Benz' all-time greats, and still carries much of that quintessential late-80s character that the cars are so known for.
