- Delivered new to King Hussein of Jordan
- Beautiful history
- The pinnacle of German engineering in the 1950s
- Beautiful restoration
Launched at the 1951 Paris Motor Show, the Mercedes Benz 300s represented the pinnacle of German engineering.
In the great German tradition, no compromise was made on quality.
Available as a roadster, convertible and coupé, the 300s was equipped with the famous 3-liter, 6-cylinder engine developing 150 horsepower.
In the cabin, the finest materials available are combined with the most rigorous assembly.
But this quality came at a price: throughout its career, the Mercedes Benz 300s was the most expensive Mercedes Benz in the range.
In all, only 216 coupés were built between 1952 and 1955.
The example we present has an exceptional history.
It was bought new by King Hussein of Jordan in 1953, in exactly the same configuration as it is today.
One of its special feat...
