The Appeal

Rightfully praised as one of the most essential classics out there, the R107's impact is impossible to overstate. Big engines, huge proportions and a comfortable cabin made this car a dead cert for success in the US market. They've gained a real reputation for solid build quality and endurance, which is no doubt a huge factor in their modern-day popularity.

This particular car has seen plenty of money invested, resulting in an utterly fabulous example that's eminently drivable and bound to turn plenty of heads. Recently fitted with a new soft top, new carpets and new upholstery, we're informed it's in fine condition through-and-through, ready and waiting to impress the car's lucky new owner.
