Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Restored by Kienle in Germany two decades ago, refreshed with an engine rebuild in 2007. The engine compartment is like new with a little use (and regular greasing). The 13,422 miles showing are since the 2007 rebuild. It is not pristine but is loved, maintained and protected. The paint is still very good. The chrome is a little weak and the upholstery has some patina and surface creases.
Market commentary
This is a promising, regularly cared for and maintained 300SL Roadster, like its stablemate the Gullwing that sold one lot after. It brought an intelligent price that needs no excuses from either the buyer or the seller.
