Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Factory replacement engine, Euro headlights, two tops, whitewall tires, hubcaps only, Talbot outside mirror, leather upholstery.

Condition

Good paint over visible right front repairs, good interior, decent chrome. Fuel door twisted. Underhood, chassis, and underbody are clean and orderly but not restored. A somewhat shaky driver quality cosmetic restoration.

Market commentary

This is a generous price for a marginal 300SL roadster that probably has no good surprises for its new owner. Its tired condition and sketchy cosmetic restoration offer none of the 'preservation' attributes prized by today's collectors.
