Condition
Original Becker Mexico radio, automatic. 44,416 miles and represented as original throughout although it appears to have an old repaint that's not really up to Sindelfingen standards and is now dull and spotted. Fair interior wood, worn fender welting, good original interior. Clean untouched engine. Either a highly-prized artifact or a driver in need of extensive attention before seeing significant use. Viny collection.
Market commentary
Bidders at Amelia apparently just couldn't bring themselves to assign as much value to this Cab D's purported originality as the seller felt it deserved. '58 and later 300s, the "d" series, are much improved over earlier cars but even at that this car could have been sold for the amount reported bid for it.
