It is 1986, and American diplomat John Dixon has weighed his options, made his decisions, and no longer harbors any doubts. The brochure for the Mercedes-Benz SL R107 lies before him, and with anticipation he reaches for the telephone. The R107 had already proven itself over the years and had secured a strong reputation among European sports cars. Dixon chose the elegant—and notably rare—specification: a 3.0-litre inline-six with a 4-speed manual gearbox, finished in Champagne Metallic with leather interior, rear seats, and—most importantly—still completely original with a genuine odometer reading. In 1988, as his posting in the EU ends, he takes the car back to the United States, where he keeps it until 1992, when it is sold to a Mercedes-Benz classic specialist. The car then remains within the same family in Maryland until 2019, when a Dutch buyer acquires it and brings it back to its country of origin to continue its story. Upon arrival, the car received meticulous servicing at Mercedes-Benz Dealer Gomes, getting everything its heart could desire. Now it stands ready to pass to its fourth owner. Its full history is documented, the service booklets are stamped, and the genuine mileage of 91,000 km is fully confirmed. The car is primed and ready to roam. This is a car that whispers sophistication in one breath and shouts joy in the next. In short: it’s a Mercedes SL R107. It doesn’t simply drive—it conquers.
