Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Low door, short tail. Spotlights, dual rear spares, fog lights. An exceptionally beautiful automobile. Restored in the late 80s, 1989 Gwen Graham winner at Pebble Beach. Little used since and carefully maintained so it is still essentially in show quality condition.

Market commentary

Some collectors prefer the later high door, long tail version of the Special Roadster but this cars style is more elegant and fluid through the cockpit, tastefully picked out in bright moldings. This is the money. Even among one of the worlds great Mercedes Benz collections it will be a standout.
