Delivered new in the U.S. Matching numbers. In present ownership since 1995. Restored in 2021 in original colors and apparently unused since. Immaculate, crisp paint finish and perfect panel fit. The chrome is slightly faded but was restored to a high standard. The interior is perfection with the best leather and carpets, while the clarity and quality of the dashboard, controls, and wood trim excel. This is a fantastic 300 SL…
Market commentary
… But it didn’t bring a fantastic price. Translated to USD, it’s #3+ money for a car that’s much better than that. 300SLs are globally desirable cars, so it’s not like they come at a discount in Britain. The seller can at least take comfort in the fact that even if this price is modest in 2025, it’s surely still way more than they paid for it 30 years ago.
