Importing a Mercedes-Benz: Your Guide to a Hassle-Free Experience

Do you have a specific Mercedes-Benz classic car in mind and want to import it to the Netherlands or another European country? At SCL Rotterdam, we understand the passion for classic cars and are here to handle various services to ensure your dream car is safely and efficiently brought to Europe. Whether it’s a model from the Mercedes-Benz W107 series or another classic model, we are ready to assist you.

About the Mercedes-Benz W107 Series

The W107 series includes some legendary Mercedes-Benz models that are highly desired by car enthusiasts. Originally developed for the North American market, this series was in production from 1971 to 1989. It is the longest-produced series by Mercedes-Benz after the G-series. The W107 series comprises both the R107 (roadster models) and the C107 (coupe models).

Purchase Inspection of the Classic Car in the United States

The American market offers a wide range of Mercedes-Benz classics, often in excellent condition due to the warm and dry climate. If you have a specific Mercedes-Benz classic car in sight but cannot inspect the car yourself, we offer a detailed purchase inspection. Our experts thoroughly inspect the classic car so you can be sure of the car's quality before it is shipped to the Netherlands or another European country.

Popular Mercedes-Benz Models from America and Dubai

From America, we often import legendary models such as the 190 SL, 280 SL, 300 SL, and the W113/114/115/116/123. From Dubai, we typically import newer models like the C/E/S/G-Class, often in AMG versions.

If you want to bring a recent Mercedes from Dubai, keep in mind that cars from this region often have GCC specifications, which may require adjustments such as installing a rear fog light. Our workshop can quickly and accurately perform these necessary modifications.

What to Look for When Importing a Mercedes-Benz

When importing a classic Mercedes, it is crucial to check if the car is in its original state and well-maintained. Photos can sometimes be misleading, so we always recommend a purchase inspection.
