About this car

This 1962 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster is a late car, fitted with disc brakes and the steel-block engine that arrived in the final years of production. Both are changes that many buyers look for in the open-topped successor to the Gullwing.

It keeps its original colour combination of white (50G) over black (201), and the page describes it as highly original with matching numbers. A hardtop and a luggage set come with it.

The car is being offered publicly for the first time after 41 years in one family's ownership. It is undergoing a ground-up restoration by marque specialist Rudi Koniczek. Mileage and price are not stated, and the price is on application.
