Well-known for being tough-as-nails, the R107 is one of the most iconic cars ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. With its brutalist lines and handsome executive trim, these roadsters were practically purpose-built for the American market, with the sun-bleached streets of LA practically begging for the imposing cars to cruise in comfort. As many enthusiasts will attest, the R107 offers all the hallmarks of a true classic without compromising on usability - a combination that continues to drive strong demand.

This 1983-registered example has covered just 38,560 miles from new, a figure confirmed as correct by consistent MOT history. Finished in Ivory with a walnut wood interior, it's a very handsome car through and through. The vendor reports that the car has been dry stored in a heated garage and driven only during summer months, having not seen rain in many years. 

The history file is impressively thorough, encompassing original paperwork, manuals, invoices, MOT certificates, old tax discs, and service records. The car's first recorded service was carried out at Bingleys in Chichester - a Mercedes-Benz specialist - at 6,181 miles in September 1986, and the majority of its early maintenance was performed in the same area. It was also the subject of a feature in Mercedes Owners Magazine. A full Experian check has returned a clean result.

Both hard top and soft top are included, along with the tool set, fire extinguisher, and a full-sized spare wheel.
