R107 won over 20 races between 1968 and 1969 before being sold in March of 1970. Passing through more owners, R107 continued to be raced very successfully throughout Europe. In 1973, the O.N.S (similar to the SCCA) told R107’s owner the car was too old to race. Refusing to give up, he installed 1968 Mustang front fenders, grille, and valance, repainted the car, and presented it as a “1969 Shelby”. R107 was issued a new log book and continued to race in disguise through 1978.
