Highlights

Pajet Red Metallic paintwork
Only 69,944 miles from new
Extensive history file with service book and MOTs
MOT valid until 27 January 2026

The Appeal

The R107 is arguably the ultimate evolution of the roadster - and a distinctly German view of it, too. Legendary rock-solid build quality, big boxy proportions and powerful engines make these classy yet brutalist land-liners amongst the most iconic classics out there, and a stark contrast to the tiny proportions we'd usually expect of an open-top sports car on twisty British B-Roads.

This fine 5.0-litre example carries a handsome Pajet Red Metallic livery, and is accompanied by an impressive history file. It's a solid, eminently drivable example of one of the German marque's all time greatest cars - and thanks to its impressive level of originality, highly desirable, too.
