Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Painted steel wheels, bullet mirror, hardtop, no radio. Freshly restored in the UK from a California car to good driver condition with sound paint, chrome and interior. Cigarette burn on passengers seat, some seat bolster scuffing. A good driver but not the nut and bolt restoration the American market is accustomed to seeing.

Market commentary

As 300SL Roadster prices keep ascending this acquisition is going to look better and better, even if it is at the top of the current market for the cars condition.
