The Appeal
It's the 1980s, and you want a smart, elegant roadster with a rock-solid straight-six and a comfortable, executive-style cabin. There were a few open-top tourers on the market, of course, but nothing had the same reputation for sureness and sheer quality as the R107. This was, in many ways, the ultimate iteration of the Roadster formula.
These days, the later R107s are particularly prized. Refined with a galvanised bulkhead and gentle styling upgrades, you'd be hard pressed to find a retro classic more enduring or eminently drivable - and this particular one is a fabulous opportunity to get behind the wheel.
Picked out in the car's near-synonymous red livery, and having been kept as the vendor's 'pride and joy' with a history of garage storage, this is an excellent, clean example that's ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
