The Appeal
For all those who desire a classic car suitable for long journeys, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL has much to offer. Beautifully designed, powerful and extremely luxurious, the R107 was immensely popular when new and continues to be sought after by enthusiasts.
Here we have a well-preserved example from 1979 that has undergone mechanical restoration work. A particular highlight is the original MB Tex interior, with Zebrano wood inlays and a period-correct Becker Europa radio. On the outside, it is in very good and efficient condition for its age, with a slight patina commensurate with its age. The seller assures us that it is ready to be driven, without the need for any work.
