I don't have an R107, but have read enough posts that I believe owners generally say they put about $1,000 / year in their cars.

I think the fairly high dollar figure is due to several different factors: regular scheduled maintenance and wear and tear, random items needing repair or replacement due to age and miles, replacing parts / trim to upgrade the cosmetic look of the car, etc.

Like me, so many owners of these cars become obsessed with them and enjoy putting time and money into their cars. It's more than a hobby - it's a labor of love.
