About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Four owners from new and 34,725 probably original miles. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Freshly restored better than new inside, outside, topside, and underside. Seats are lightly stretched but still sound and attractive.

Market commentary

A benchmark 300SL Roadster bought for a price that reflects increasing introspection on the part of 300SL buyers. It would be hard to better (without the involvment of celebrity owners) the fully documented ownership history, limited miles and fastidious restoration of this automobile. The price it brought is reasonable.
