The Appeal


The R107 is, put simply, one of the most significant cars in Mercedes-Benz' repertoire. With its boxy styling and upfront, handsome stance, these cars were practically designed for the American market, and they quickly captured the imagination of any executive-level motorist.
Previously based in Oregon, this handsome white R107 comes to us now seeking a new owner. All duties and VAT have been paid upon its arrival in the Netherlands, and it's now awaiting both road registration and a lucky new owner to put its mighty V8 powerplant through its paces. It looks like a highly original car and we're confident it'll prove a wonderful addition to your fleet.
