The seller reports that this rare color option is mostly original including the paint. If you’re looking to get in on classic SL action, this late-model R107 is a superb example to buy.

New Michelin tires were reportedly recently installed. The seller honestly states that there is a slight fade on edge of the front fenders, a small spot on the driver’s door and a tape mark on the trunk lid.
