The Appeal
The R107 - where do you begin? Legendary in its longevity, these big, boxy roadsters were an enormous success for the legendary German brand. Loaded with bulky powerplants, with handsome trims and executive-level comfort, they were a fabulous level of durability, drivability and style.
It's little wonder, then, that they've become one of the biggest fixtures of the classic car world - and continue to attract plenty of admiring glances from every successive generation of enthusiasts.
This particular model, with its attractive red exterior and black leather interior, was originally based in the USA. Since import, it's been beautifully cared for, and now comes to us ready and waiting for its new owner.
