1960 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster (LHD) For Sale

- Coming from famous ownership
- Stunning virtually Concours standard
- Recipient of a total body off restoration
- Matching numbers

At the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz introduced a new version of the celebrated 300 SL wearing open coachwork: the 300 SL Roadster. In an early suggestion of the increasing focus the manufacturer would place on luxury cars over the ensuing decades, the new roadster was above all a more refined car than its gull-winged predecessor.

Originally supplied new to the USA. In 1990/ 1993 the car was subject to a total body off restoration regardless of cost by a well known US Restorer under the supervision of John Olsen the renowned 300SL expert and author of the “The SL Experience”. Every detail was completed correctly, its mileage was then 67, 000 and the current mileage is now shows only 74, 300. The car has matching chassis/ engine numbers and 3. 89 rear axle.

Originally finished in DB166 Blue Grey, our car has been repainted in a stunning Silver Blue metallic. The interior is finished in stylish light tan hide which remains in fabulous condition, as is the Cream soft top. It could easily be argued that this is the most elegant and subtle colour scheme possible.

Still in virtually Concours condition this Roadster has the original Becker Mexico radio with automatic electric aerial, chrome road wheels, 2 fitted suitcases, inertia reel seatbelts and European specification headlamps.

Recently serviced by HK-Engineering the car is mechanically superb, working on the button it is ready to be enjoyed. The car has European taxes paid and is registered in the UK with a new MOT certificate..

Today, the 300 SL Roadster still carries with it an indelible aura of speed, power, and sophisticated style. Fast enough for the sports car lover, and comfortable enough for those who demand some luxury, it has remained one of the most admired automobiles in the world for nearly 60 years. Our car offered here, with its high assortment of desirable options and accessories, which, combined with a beautiful restoration in an outstanding choice of colour, makes it one of the most attractive examples still on the road.
