Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Condition

Chrome wire wheels, dual spotlights, dual sidemounts, single driving light, fitted luggage. Meticulously restored by Paul Russell & Co. in 1995 to the highest standards. Pebble Beach class winner and M-B Trophy when fresh and still perfect enough to score trophies at Meadow Brook in 2000 and Bay Harbor in 2001.

Market commentary

Just about as great a Mercedes Benz as there is, even at a sale where there's a Special Roadster.
