Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Two tops, Becker Mexico radio, 15,000 miles from new. Very original, but not pristine. Tired original paint, good interior. Needs nothing, but needs everything, too.

Market commentary

Early 300SL Roadsters with drum brakes are typically $125 150,000 cars. This cars exceptional originality and low miles make it a fair value at this price; some work on the paint and detailling might make it worth more, but not much.
