"The Mercedes R107 features a V8 engine beneath the hood and a cabriolet roof, making it the perfect summer cruiser and a top choice among enthusiasts. Best of all, it’s now permanently exempt from inspections."

Description

This Swedish-sold example was first registered in 1988, likely after spending time as dealer stock or a showroom piece. It underwent a renovation roughly 25 years ago, and while it still presents nicely, there are some localized paint blisters. The interior remains complete but shows age and wear, notably on the passenger side and a few trim panels. The convertible top was replaced a few years ago but has a repairable 10 cm tear on the driver’s side. Inspection records indicate minimal usage—around 3,000 km over the past decade. The car recently passed its final inspection and is now exempt from further testing. Mechanically, both the engine and gearbox operate well, though the brakes could benefit from a minor adjustment and the engine occasionally stalls at low revs, suggesting a tune-up may be in order. A good polish to address a few light scratches would also help enhance its overall appearance.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts reliably, and the engine sounds good, although some auxiliary belts may need replacement due to a slight squeak when cold. The transmission shifts well, and the brakes work but bind slightly, requiring a minor adjustment. Occasionally, the engine stalls at low revs, indicating it could benefit from a tune-up—unsurprising given it has seen minimal use for over a decade. Electric windows are functional but operate slowly, and the vehicle currently sits on non-standard alloy wheels with decent tires. Please note that a hardtop is not included.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior remains complete but shows its age. The passenger seat requires some repair or reupholstering, and several panels exhibit noticeable wear. Additionally, an extra horn button has been installed on the center console, accommodating the aftermarket wooden steering wheel.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car presents itself well overall, with straight bodywork. However, closer inspection reveals some paint blisters around the inner door sills, bonnet corners, front lower door areas, and beneath the doors, as well as paint cracks around the windshield panel. The driver’s door hinges also sag slightly upon opening and closing. Underneath, there is evidence of older repair work and rust visible at the jacking point, the front left chassis leg, and along the front sill/wheel arches (see pictures). The convertible top functions properly and appears in good condition but does require a simple repair (see picture).

  • General condition:

    This car has served as a summer cruiser for many years, though it has been driven only sparingly in recent times. It can be enjoyed as is, requiring just a few minor fixes and leaving room for further improvements over time. With its road tax and inspection exemption, ownership will be both more affordable and hassle-free for the next buyer.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
