1960 Mercedes-Benz 300D (W189) Pillarless Phaeton For Sale

This 1960 300 D Pillarless Phaeton has spent much of its later years in a large private collection before being bought by the present owner. Over recent years it has been mechanically restored as the bodywork, paintwork, brightwork and interior were already of a very high standard. The recorded mileage is 89, 000 miles.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 series are four door luxury tourers favoured by the German Chancellor (Konrad Adenauer) after the war and were built between 1951 into the early sixties when it was eventually replaced by the 600 Pullman. The 300 D, which was the Maybach of its day, was amongst the last to be made and is longer than the A, B and C (W186), has an automatic 3 speed gearbox and a 3000 cc engine (The engine, suspension and chassis is shared with the iconic 300SL 'Gullwing'). The vehicle is equipped with a central oiling system, power steering and the windows, when lowered, give unobstructed open access to the adoring supporters and fans that lined the Berlin streets.

The 300 D was seen as the German equivalent to the British Rolls Royce Cloud equal in features and price but superior in performance, it soon became very popular in America. Most German vehicles of the period had dark interiors whilst the interior is a pleasing cream throughout with light timber dashboard which still has its original Becker radio.

There is a current MOT and she is stored during winter in a specialist classic car facility where it is lovingly looked after. Whilst I have never entered her specifically into any classic car shows, she is always admired where ever we go and was even voted "the best car at the show" by members of the public. She is often taken on long journeys the South of England and was at the Goodwood Revival last month. She drives beautifully and never misses a beat. Details of the restoration are available.
