Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome center, polished alloy rim wheels with body color accented hubcaps, Toyo radial tires, Talbot mirror, bumper overriders, original owner's manual, build sheet copies, 300SL commemorative wristwatch.

Condition

Excellent recent repaint, chrome and interior. Engine compartment and underbody restored better than new. Sharp, crisp gauges, dashboard and steering wheel. A beautiful restoration for screenwriter Frank Darabont in an attractive color combination.

Market commentary

A particularly good looking color combination that beautifully complements the 300SL Roadster's lines, even if it is a color change from the way it was delivered, this is an impossible to fault example with about 1,000 miles since restoration. It is a good value for a collector who wants a quality combination of cosmetics and performance.
