A beauty. I only wish I could justify bidding.
That (or very similar) was one of the first mercs I loved the look of. I used to do a paper round and 1978 time I delivered to " the big house " . They were from a well to do background and amongst other cars had a merc coupe in in that colour. Where they parked it up was a pr photographers wet dream.
Just out of interest, when was that range launched ? I'm sure it was one of those.

What a beauty, but not sure I'd want a 4-speed manual though. Never driven a manual 107, I'd imagine the shift quality would be similar to a 123 of the era, which I had regularly. The only positive thing I could say about it was that it's precise.
Launched in 1971, this one's from the '79 facelift, with dished steering wheel, flat top headrests, but still retaining the delicate front & those gorgeous alloys which suit the car perfectly.
