The Appeal
Look, you already know the R107. This boxy, slab-sided roadster has just about defined an era for Mercedes-Benz, and is rightfully heralded as one of the industry's finest roadsters. By far, however, the most desirable are the post-1986 facelifted cars, which offered improved rust-proofing, improved suspension, slightly bigger brakes and standard-fit ABS.
This 1987 example is exactly that - and what a looker it is. Champagne gold paintwork, with a chocolate-brown MB-Tex cabin. It's a timeless combo for a timeless car - one that lives and breathes luxury.
If that wasn't enough for you, the car has been recently recommissioned and subject to a comprehensive service - less than 1,000 miles ago. The underside is sealed, the interior retrimmed, and that rock-solid powerplant is still rumbling away as ever it has. If you want a truly excellent 80s roadster, this is a great opportunity.
