About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Engine compartment is neat but not fresh. Chassis is lightly road grimy. Paint, chrome, upholstery and interior wood are very good. Radio panel wood doesn't match the dashtop and glove box door. Underbody shows age and use. An attractive car that was restored two decades ago and has been driven sparingly since.

Market commentary

It's hard to characterize a 300Sc Roadster as a 'driver', but that's what this old restoration is. 300Sc Roadster buyers aren't, as the moderate interest here shows, drivers. This one is too good to restore, but not good enough to show, placing it in a value-limbo that the high bid here shows.
