Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1959 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, resprayed in Silver Grey over a red leather interior, is powered by a 3.0-liter straight-six engine and shows 19,058 kilometers. While the car is largely original and comes with a black hard top and service history, it requires some cosmetic attention due to worn tires and age-related wear on the paint and interior.

Condition 

6

The car presents well, though not without imperfections. The resprayed paint has minor blemishes, the tires are worn, and the interior shows age-related wear, cracking, and discolouration. Overall, it's in fair condition for its age but needs some restorative work.
