About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint and brightwork, panel fit is superb. Underhood is extremely clean and the new interior shows very well. An excellent example with a very unique and interesting color.

Market commentary

300SL prices are still on the rise. This early drum brake/iron block example sold at the high estimate, due in part to its unusual color.
