The vehicle recently underwent its general inspection, making it immediately suitable for drives and longer trips.

General Information / Model History

When Mercedes-Benz introduced the R107 series in 1971, the brand succeeded in creating a design that uniquely combined automotive elegance, safety, and long-distance comfort. The roadster quickly became an international success and, with a production run of nearly two decades, remained one of the longest-running model series in the company’s history.

The eight-cylinder models offered in the early 1980s were considered particularly well-balanced representatives of the series. They combined superior power delivery with the refined character of a classic Mercedes-Benz grand tourer. To this day, the R107 remains one of the most sought-after classics from Stuttgart and enjoys a dedicated international collector community.
