Equipment
Blaupunkt AM-FM-Multiband radio, hardtop only, Nardi woodrim steering wheel.
Condition
Barn car, California black-plate last stickered in '92. Dull old repaint, bird poop stained, shrunken filler, dented right door. Complete but grungy underhood.
Market commentary
The attraction of grunge, so often seen at recent auctions, didn't save this 300SL's value from the recognition that it will be a long and expensive process before it can be driven. After restoration it will, in the present market, be solidly into low 7-figures, but it will take all the difference to realize that potential and the time that will elapse injects another not inconsiderable risk element. The result here is surprisingly realistic.
