Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, a matching-numbers example, was originally delivered to the USA. It retains its original color scheme of Silver Grey Metallic. Noteworthy is its known ownership history since 1970 and confirmation from Mercedes-Classic that it retains its original bulkhead chassis plate, engine, axles, gearbox and bodywork. The car has an accident repair on the left front chassis member and an aged restoration with interior from 1972 and paint from the 1980s.

Condition 

6

The car's restoration is aged, with the interior likely dating back to 1972 and the paintwork to the 1980s. However, it presents well and is reported to drive well by former owners. There's evidence of accident repair on the left front chassis member. Considering these factors, a 'Good' rating seems appropriate.
