My New Mercedes R 107 1973 350SL


 

So this is about as crazy a post as you will get in this group. Often, we have posts of folks with new R 107 acquisitions. This is a bit different. Not looking for value or advice on whether or not I should restore. Yesterday at a flea market I purchased three matchbox classics for $1. One was this 1973 R 107 in rough shape but made in England. It even has provenance. "Billy." Seriously, to what degree toys like these have led to some of you much later in life being endeared with the beauty of the R 107? Why is there such a committed following to this car's design and colors?
