About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Restored. Paint, brightwork and top are in excellent condition. Panel fit, especially the trunk lid, could be much better. Very clean underhood and tidy interior. Not perfect, but still a very good show car.

Market commentary

A sound SL roadster with complete provenance and evidence of professional work. And ultimately a #3 price for a #2 car. Now: to drive and enjoy or to spend money addressing the remaining details?
