Equipment
Polished Rudge wheels, fitted luggage, hinged steering wheel, Becker multi band radio, dual Talbot mirrors. Good paint, surface cracked possibly original upholstery and similarly possibly original matching luggage. Clean chassis doesnt look like it has been restored. Scratched windshield trim. A sound car that has had attention as needed but without history before the consignor.
Market commentary
By any measure 300SL Gullwings have taken off in recent years, but nowhere more so than in this years Arizona auctions. This tidy largely original car brought money that would have bought the best restored Gullwing just a few years ago and while it may need nothing it also burdens its new owner all the uncertainty that goes with an old car. The price is right in the current market, it only remains to be seen if the market is rational.
