About Hagerty’s condition ratings
The last version of the 1,858 roadsters built, one of 218 with four-wheel disc brakes and the alloy engine block. A European model imported in the 1970s, it was in one family for 30 years. Front bumper does not fit well. Chips on the passenger side trunk
Market commentary
A desirable, sound and usable 300SL Roadster, but aged to a point where it's on the cusp of the restore-or-preserve quandary. The bidders settled on the side of restoration and left some headroom at the reported high bid for the work this Roadster needs.
