Description of 1957 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

1957 MERCEDES 300SL ROADSTER EUROPEAN VERSION HARD TOP AND SOFT TOP This car was bought brand new in Europe in 1957 and brought to Los Angeles California where the owner lived in 1957. He owned the car from new till his passing in the late 70’s. In 1979 his widow sold the car to a gentleman (second owner) that owned a dealership in Los Angeles which sold 300sls brand new. In 1984 the 3rd owner bought the car and kept it till Nov 2005. I bought it in Nov ’05 and still own it now. One of the first 50 300sl roadsters made in 1957 Matching numbers. The car was painted once with a Lacquer paint in 1981…it looks original and shiny like a mirror when it’s polished…But has some cracks and scratches in the paint which give it an original look. All the panels are original and straight The interior is all original except for the carpet which was changed in 1981 and the leather was dyed. The front seats a starting to tear The soft top was changed a few years ago and is still perfect. Mechanically the car is absolutely perfect. I spent lots of time and money getting it to run perfectly. All the work was done by 2 different Mercedes Master Mechanics. This car has lived in the Los Angeles area almost all its life. It is very original unrestored. Over the years many experts have seen the car and were surprised at its originality. Books. tools. spare. jack. records. tool kit . data card and hard top included.
