About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Sold new in the US. Very good paint and chrome other than some scratches on the taillight bezels. The windshield is delaminating at the edges. Small rip in the soft top. Clean wheels. Even gaps. Tidy and lightly used underneath. Older body-on restoration. Looks ready for the Colorado Grand.

Market commentary

Offered by RM in their 2020 "Monterey-Shift" online auction when it was still red and was reported bid to $870,000. It''s had some needed attention as well as a color change repaint since then and the 300SL Roadster market has strengthened since then making this a reasonable result for a usable and attractive car.
