The Appeal

One of the most enduring European classics ever, the R107 continues to be attributed by many as one of the ultimate developments of the roadster. Big, bulky, built like houses and beautifully finished, these cars continue to ply their trade in style - and continue to capture a whole new generation of enthusiasts, half a century after they were introduced.

This 1984 example was previously based in the USA, and boasts an eye-catching livery of Champagne Metallic with a Palomino MB-Tex cabin. It's all highly original, as evidenced by the Mercedes-Benz data card. All of the duties and VAT have been paid - all that's left to do is register it and get it back onto the road.
