This exceedingly rare Mercedes-Benz is 1 of only 27 300SL Roadsters delivered new with Rudge 'knock-off' wheels and is the beneficiary of a multiple concours winning restoration in its original color combination of DB 40 black paint over 1068 natural leather. Retaining all five of its original, date-coded 300SL Roadster-specific Rudge wheels along with its original Karl Baisch suitcases, this magnificent open W198 is nothing less than a benchmark example of the legendary 300SL. Never before offered for sale publicly, this famous German export is worthy of consideration for inclusion in any collection as a Mercedes-Benz centerpiece.
