Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This largely original, three-owner 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is a rare find, being one of only 1,232 produced and among the last hand-built models. Its striking white over green leather color combination, accompanied by extensive documentation and an AACA National Senior Award, makes it a highly desirable classic.

This particular 300SL boasts impressive provenance, including its original books, tools, service records, and factory data card, further enhancing its collector value. The fact that it has received national honors speaks volumes about its excellent, well-preserved condition, likely requiring minimal to no reconditioning.
