The Appeal
While the legendary R107 convertible might be the better-known of the line, the coupe demands its own brand of attention. They're solid, a little roomier - and still carry the legendary rigidity that Mercedes-Benz were so legendary for in their day. No, the C107 may be less numerous - and almost certainly more domesticated than the decidedly Californian-aimed convertible.
A highly original car is still very much prized machine - and offers an eminently usable classic car for the modern enthusiast. This example could do with a lick of a paint, but is a solid, well-serviced example that's been regularly serviced over its 80,117 miles.
