The Appeal


Big, boxy and brash - the R107 was a distinctly American-styled roadster that was intended to really capture that oh-so-important Californian market. It's not easy to tell if Mercedes-Benz knew they were creating one of their most lauded cars in history. The R107 became an icon, a real keystone of the roadster at its absolute best - and a good example has never been more popular.

This 1981 car comes to us in fine fettle, ready and raring to go with a Dutch registration and a new Technical Inspection under its belt. The car has its soft top and hard top all present and correct, and comes complete with a clean CARFAX report. Put simply, this fine roadster has everything going for it.
