Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls, dual sidemounts, fitted luggage, single fog light, opening windshield, dual spotlights. Displayed at Pebble Beach in 2002, no longer quite fresh but still outstanding and better than new.

Market commentary

Considering that one Special Roadster would buy seven of these and that RM got this much for a replica bodied Special Roadster at Monterey in August this is a lot of Mercedes Benz for the money.
