About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as the second 300SL Roadster built. Shown at the 1958 New York Auto Show. Three owners, 41,885 actual miles, and matching numbers. Body-on restored from 2016-19. Mostly beautiful paint and chrome. Some blemishes in the windshield frame. And the windshield molding fits in there a bit erratically. Original-looking sun visors and transmission tunnel. Some scuffs on the leather boot cover behind the seats. Original-looking door panels and dash. An important SL, not fully redone but enough that it’s more than presentable.
