Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Polished wheels, Euro headlights. The factory prototype gullwing hardtop. Goodyear Eagle tires, dull pitted wheels, superficial repaint but good interior. The factory fiberglass gullwing hardtop is so crude its hard to imagine M B ever constructing a device. Huge window gaps.

Market commentary

Even GM builds better fiberglass prototype parts than this. Enough said This is an ample price for a fair 300SL Roadster, but the hardtop needs the M B restoration shops attention if its to be useable for more than conversation.
