Equipment
2996/250hp, 4-speed, Becker Mexico radio, hardtop, represented as numbers matching driveline. Leather upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
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.
