Market commentary
This alloy block, disc brake 300SL Roadster has never been neglected into advanced deterioration yet its sale had to be closed at a post-block negotiated deal 38% under the low estimate. It is a car that can, with some not insignificant careful recommissioning, be driven and enjoyed with the pride of continuing the sympathetic, caring ownership of its four owners in over half a century. A rewarding and satisfying car, and transaction.
