About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Aged paint that exhibits a general hazing. Chips filled on the hood and minor cracking at the bottom of the windshield by the fender mirror. The chrome is slightly tarnished but not pitted. The engine has gone through a mechanical restoration and presents well and the underbody shows its originality. The interior is slightly worn in but not excessively so. An attractive, original finish car.

Market commentary

Based solely on condition and presentation this is a mediocre 300SL but its originality and mechanical condition brought it a moderately superior result. The bidders understood what they were getting and wrote an appropriate check for it.
