Lose yourself in 1989 for but a moment...

Lose yourself in 1989 for but a moment…

The Galileo Spacecraft has been launched by NASA, the Berlin Wall is about to come down… Sky TV has just launched. Britain is producing the Rover 827, a 2.7 litre V6 luxury saloon and yours for just £46,624 (in today’s money). Alternatively well heeled buyers could opt for the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, in it’s final year of production and yours for the princely sum of £86,390… or a shade under £110,000 for the 5.0 litre V8 variant.

Take a moment to absorb those ‘as new’ prices. The 500SL cost more new than TWO of Rover’s flagship executive saloons.

The Rover 800… Luxurious in it’s day, but half the price of a Mercedes-Benz R107

There can be no surprises that the R107 would go on to be a collector car, a dream car and a vehicle of both inspiration and aspiration. Prohibitively expensive in their day, owning one at the time was a sign of wealth, of status and of having ‘made it’… it was the true luxury good of all luxury goods! Today, the R107 still looks every inch the icon it always has been.

What is your first R107 SL memory? Do you recall seeing them in the 1970s and 80s, did you own one, or a family member? Or know someone who did? The car shown is currently for sale in our showroom, and features heated seats… Imagine buying that in 1989!

: Late cars with high specification and low miles are still king. But are we seeing a shift…?
