The Appeal
The R107 was very much intended for the Californian market. The signs are all there - it's a big roadster with decidedly angular styling, a refined executive-style cabin and great, big, rock-solid powerplants. But in truth, these remarkable motors offered worldwide appeal, gaining a reputation as a bit of a go-anywhere, do-anything all rounder.
Nowadays, they're perfect offerings of a truly tactile, rugged eye for the traditional convertible. The R107 has gained a reputation for being a remarkably enduring car, easily fighting off common bugbears and well-supported by one of the best enthusiast groups in the world. These cars are simply one of the best of their era.
This 1984 example offers a comprehensive service history and has clearly been pampered, having seen little use in recent years. Having been dry stored for most of its life and recently serviced by a marque specialist, this Signal Red car tickets all of the boxes and will no doubt make for an eminently usable classic.
