The Appeal
If the R107 is the ultimate culmination of the roadster, you could argue that the C107 did much the same for the executive coupe. This was a time when Mercedes-Benz were amongst the best car manufacturers in the world, with rock-solid build quality no doubt contributing to the R107's continued popularity.
This particular example stands out for its remarkable originality and long-term ownership history, having been with the current keeper for over three decades. It's highly original, beautifully preserved, and loaded with period character.
