Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Polished alloy wheels, pushbutton multi band radio with period shortwave converter, Nardi steering wheel, fitted luggage, P antenna, Euro lights. A quality old restoration thats standing up well but is showing its age. Loose bolt lying on the drivers door sill, both corners of the windshield delaminating, cracked window seals. Appears to have been painted over old paint. Interior and chassis show age and use. A sound and very usable but no longer show quality 300SL.

Market commentary

Although this is a quality 300SL this transaction is a benchmark for an iron block, drum brake car in its condition. 300SL prices have been riding a very steep curve lately. If this transaction is any guide, theyre still heading for orbit.
