The Appeal
Introduced to replace the R107, Mercedes-Benz' R129 was always going to have big boots to fill - thankfully, it did in style. With its straightforward styling, comfortable cabin and swathe of beautifully built engines, they were an excellent evolution of their legendary predecessor.
This example was previously based in the USA, and comes complete with all import duties and VAT paid. All that's left is to register it in Europe. where it'll no doubt prove a very rewarding modern classic for the lucky buyer.
