The Appeal

The R107 really doesn’t need an introduction, so instead we’ll concentrate on just how good this example is.

Built in 1988, it is one of the desirable, later facelifted cars with galvanised chassis. Smartly finished in Arctic White with matching hard top and a beige leather interior - with factory-fitted rear seats - this car has covered less than 78,000 miles from new in the care of a handful of keepers.

Then there is the service history, which shows an uninterrupted run of stamps from new to October 2024. The car has covered less than 100 miles since the last attention. Along the way in recent times there has been £1,900 of expenditure at highly regarded specialist Colin Ferns on new brake discs and pads plus other servicing work. That was not long ago in 2023.

The photographs show a car in very good condition indeed - even considering the quality of other R107s on the market, this one stands out. The advisory-free MOT to October 2025 reinforces the point. As the days lengthen and the weather warms, this is one not to miss.
