Market commentary
The sales result goes to show the continued emphasis placed on originality of important cars. The seller did very well and now the buyer has a tough choice of whether to preserve the great patina of this car or be the first to have a hand at making it look like all the other restored examples of the 300SL roadster. This is huge money and anything more spent on it is down the drain.
