About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restored in Germany in the NaughtsPaint chipping off the wheels and the spare tires are dry and cracked. Scratch on the right front fender. Sound but older paint otherwise. Sound top with good frame. Good upholstery, but the steering wheel is worn and the gauges are very faded. Clean and restored underneath. An attractive rare car that was restored in the early 2000s, but the work was done a while ago and probably before the car was worth very much. ItÆs a driver.

Market commentary

Not sold at a $77,500 high bid at Russo and Steele Monterey 2016. It would appear to be no worse now than it was then, a classic M-B albeit with only 6 cylinders, 2.2 liters and 55 horsepower to push along 3,500 pounds. It will be popular at Teutonic events and should tour well enough to keep up with traffic.
