About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Small crack in the Talbot Berlin badge on the mirror. Small scrape in the front bumper and light pitting on it as well. Wheels could stand a good cleaning. Rear rocker trim isn't flush. A few small dents in the right front hub cap. Light scratches on the left rocker trim. Big chip on the left front edge of the hood. Another on the front edge of the passenger's side door. Very good lightly worn older seats and restored interior. Good top. Restoration by Scott Grundfor Company in original colors done 10 years and 500 miles ago, but the age is starting to show and this isn't much more than a driver SL Roadster.

Market commentary

Two years ago, this car probably could have commanded a lot closer to $1.5 million, but after 300SL prices have settled this is a spot on result.
