Highlights

Ex-South African example of the legendary R107
Carrying UK registration B944 HAM
Recently passed its UK MOT with no advisories
Rare factory air-conditioning

The Appeal

The R107 is a pillar of the classic car market - a staple. These hard-wearing, quintessentially capable cars offered superior class and comfort - along with far larger proportions - compared to their contemporaries, and quickly gained a reputation as one of the ultimate evolutions of the roadster formula.

This example, presented in an impressive Diamond Blue Metallic livery, was previously based in South Africa - and has arrived in the UK in fine fettle. It's recently passed an MOT with flying colours, and thanks to its dry lifestyle abroad, looks to be a particularly solid, capable car.
