This is a very special/rareEuropean Model R107. It was originally purchased in 1986 (Original Receipt) in Nevada. My Aunt & Uncle from Reno, Nevada were the second owners, purchasing the vehicle in 1990 (Receipt) where it remained until 2003 when I took ownership. It has never seen Illinois rain/snow/ice or salt (always garage kept).

The following are very hard to come by when purchasing this year Mercedes:

• original keys (Main, Secondary, and Flat)
• original receipt of purchase by original owner in 1986 and second owner in 1990
• original owners manuals ( Both English and German Manuals)
• packet of maintenance/service records dating back to 1986
• original tool kit that came with the vehicle
• original Mercedes-Benz road atlas
• original Mercedes-Benz jack and reflector kit

Mileage records dated 02/01/2002 were 61,988. When I brought the car back to Illinois in 2003, the Illinois DMV could not run a European VIN. Therefore, the first Title received stated “broken odometer”. I had to have the Police Dept verify my VIN and Odometer reading of (63,677) whereas the DMV reissued me the Title. The AutoCheck report indicates broken odometer, which is incorrect. I have never had any issues with the odometer. Current Mileage is 69,304.
