The Appeal

The R107 SL is among the most iconic roadsters of all time. These sharp-featured cars replaced the iconic W113 'Pagoda' SL, and what a replacement it was. While the subtle curves had translated into sharp angles, the performance, trims and sheer build quality made sure the new car stood on its own two feet with little trouble. Such a success it was, in fact, that the car remains one of the longest-running models in Mercedes-Benz history.

This 1985 car comes to us with an attractive colour combination, having been with its current keeper since 2022. Accompanied by a substantial history file, this impressive R107 is no doubt going to attract plenty of admiring glances.
