The Appeal
The R107 sits as a candidate as one of the motoring world's ultimate classic roadsters. Boxy lines, willing mechanics and rugged endurance made these cars the stuff of legend - a machine that could run and run while offering superb executive-tier comfort. With them being eminently, endlessly drivable, too, it's little wonder that they maintain so much popularity.
This 1989 example has been in the current keeper's hands since June 2013 and has been used infrequently throughout that time. It comes with a history file including annual service invoices from the current ownership as well as maintenance records from the previous keeper. Garage stored and protected under a cotton cover when not in use, the vendor proudly notes this is a very solid, well-kept example.image.png1.46 MB
