Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
One-off commissioned by a Dutch businessman who was bound and determined to have a two-door 300SEL 6.3, and paid Pininfarina a ton of money (400,000 Dutch guilders, apparently) to make it happen. Today it’s in original, and somewhat neglected condition. The original paint is faded and cracked, while the chrome is deplating with rust showing on the bumpers. Rust is showing on the sills as well. The interior is decent but aged. The wheels, tires and underbody are tired, also. Not Pininfarina’s prettiest work and it will be a labor of love to get it back to its original glory, but Bonhams still estimates this unique Mercedes will bring a big premium over the visually similar, also Pininfarina-styled Rolls-Royce Camargue parked behind it.
