About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

The tires are old. The older repaint is very good other than a few chips around the headlights and a few small masking errors around the window frames. Very good, lightly worn unrestored interior with very good original wood. Tidy underneath. Represented with extensive (and expensive) service getting the car fully sorted, including the air suspension system. Never fully taken apart and restored, but it never needed to be.

Market commentary

The fastest sedan in the world when it came out, the 300 SEL 6.3 is cheaper and easier to live with than its 600 cousin even if it is a bit less grand, and this was a spot on result for an example in this kind of condition.
