Can't find a decent UK forum who provides a sub forum for particular models such as the R107.

Without a Sub Forum I any thread gets lost amognst a load of other stuff

So....lets start off ......any 107 SL owners out there? Post up a pic to get us started and any problems/issues (of the car nature)


Anyway Here's mine.....A lovely low mileage...low owner 500. I've had many and regretted selling every one of them.....This one's a keeper

Absolutely stunning. I have a solid black over black leather 300SL which i keep on pontificating it's sale through lack of time to use her. It's in the PH classifieds but threads and photo's like this make me think that i should just keep it as i'll never find another in that spec

That is me Eric......I decided not to sell on the basis that every time I see one on the road I feel I stop and stare.

I will always have one

Spent a lot of time and money making this special

That's a very fine looking R107 you have. There is a good R107 sub forum on the Mercedes-Benz-club.co.uk. But you do have to be a member. If you join it will be the best £38 you will spend. I have a 89 R107 in signal red with mushroom interior. Only done 28k miles from new and is my favourite car and will be a keeper. Just won the MB National Concours with it this year so well pleased. I would post some pics if I new how, I'm getting on a bit now, all these new fangled gadgets confuse me.

I might take a look though another £38 does put me off.

Love red, had a 34000 mile red one myself which I sold a few years ago.

If you go to a hosting site such as Photobucket then you can post up here...I'm sure there are other ways but I'm rubbish too

Gold looks right on these...of a time. I sold a Gold 450SL last year with just 5000 miles. Lovely

That's odd because I can see them from my iphone

Strange, I don't see them on my iPad, however when clicking on the link, they go to Thumsnap and appear there.
