Looking for style this Summer? This lovely R107 Convertible has recently arrived and looks absolutely stunning in soft metallic gold with dark brown hard-top. With just 81. 00 miles from new and substantial history (17 stamps plus supporting paper-work). it not only looks the part but drives beautifully too.

 

Launched in 1971 and with a production run spanning 18 years (the second longest in Mercedes history). the R107 (convertible) and C107 (coupe) became legendary cars in their own lifetime. known for superb build-quality and engineering. The R 107 was available as either a pure 2-seater or the option of having 2 child seats and initially came with the choice of just two V8 engines. the 350 and 450 respectively. In 1974. the lighter 280 joined the party featuring a fuel-injected. twin-cam straight-6 producing 182bhp and enabling the car still to reach a very respectable 130mph.

 

Our car was supplied new in June 1981 in Huddersfield and it has largely remained in the North of England until the spring of this year. Regularly serviced throughout it`s life. the car has evidently always been a second or “high days” car covering an average of less than 3000 miles annually. Most recently serviced at 78. 00 miles. notable other work includes a full gearbox overhaul at 71. 00 miles in 2004. It comes with comprehensive service records and old MOT Certificates going back to the late 1980`s. It further benefits from a current Certificate to April 2014.

 

Today the car presents extremely well with virtually blemish-free paint-work. a perfect hard-top. good soft-top and lovely interior trim. On the road. the twin-cam straight-6 is a joy with plenty of instant power. a super-smooth gear-change from the reconditioned gearbox and predictable road manners. These cars still feel special with build-quality that modern car manufacturers can only dream of! They are the perfect year-round classic convertible.

 

In addition to the extensive paper-trail. the car comes with all supplying dealer literature including Owners Manual. Maintenance Guide. Service Guide and Warranty Card.

 

An iconic convertible with lovely history. Ready to go!
