Highlights

Recent respray in smart black
Facelift features including Gullideckel alloys
Low mileage for year of under 97,000 miles
Tidy and very usable 200bhp V8 R107
Smart interior with factory rear seat

The Appeal

This 70s R107 comes to us fresh from a comprehensive respray in handsome, understated black. It is the popular 350 model with rumbling V8 and a healthy 200bhp on tap.

The condition reflects that recent work and the low mileage for the year of under 97,000 miles. The interior appears original and very well kept, the brown fabric trim in good order with useful optional factory rear seat.

Good R107s, particularly the punchy V8s, are perennials of the classic scene and with good reason. They’re comfortable, very easy to drive, durable as only a Mercedes-Benz can be and practical too. This one looks tempting.
