Model history

The Mercedes-Benz R107, produced from 1971 to 1989, built on the success of its predecessor, the W113 Pagoda. This roadster redefined luxury and performance. From the 280 SL to the 560 SL, the R107 represented timeless design and advanced technology. As the direct successor to the W113, it not only continued the tradition of open-top two-seaters, but also set new standards in style and performance. Today, the R107 is a coveted collector's item.
