Market commentary
Had you been at Kruse Auburn Fall in 2003 you could have seen this 300SL Roadster cross the block without selling on a reported bid of just $175,000. Oh, the missed opportunity. Yet even at almost seven times that result it is still a solid value in a beautifully presented 300SL Roadster in 2023.
