The Appeal

The RMF was a car of distinction; as you'd expect from the much-loved RM saloon lineage. Its curvy proportions, comfortable cabin and much-loved straight-four powerplant all conjured up a timeless sort of beauty - something that felt unapologetically classical at its heart while offering genuinely capable road-going character.

This particular example has benefited from a body-off refurbishment prior to the current owner's purchase in 2013, and has since enjoyed over a decade of attentive custodianship. The vendor reports that it runs and drives very nicely, and has been regularly maintained. It now eagerly awaits its lucky new keeper.
