About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restored better than new in the early 1980s and still with excellent paint, chrome, interior and top. Recently extensively serviced and freshened with new carpets and interior wood veneer. A remarkably well preserved three decade old restoration that speaks to the quality of the workmanship and materials, as well as subsequent limited use and regular care.

Market commentary

The 300Sc made a particularly important statement for Mercedes-Benz as it once again positioned the company at the pinnacle of the luxury car market just ten years after the end of World War II. These cars have always been valuable and appreciated by collectors and this result is a tribute both to the inherent quality of the car and its condition. It is full value for the not insignificant money it brought.
