Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, chassis number '8500067', boasts a rich history, including a stint at the Musée de l'Automobiliste à Mougins. Professionally restored in Germany in 1995 and enhanced for modern driving with front disc brakes and a CD stereo, it was acquired by a UK collector in 2007. Offered with extensive documentation, including restoration records and original manuals, plus a matching hardtop.
Condition
8
While the car has been restored, the listing mentions that it is not a concours example, suggesting it is not in absolutely perfect condition. The restoration was done in 1995, so while the quality is evident, it is not recent. Some modifications have been made to improve driveability. The car "has no apparent faults and wants for nothing" and the condition of the hardtop is mint.
