This very rare 300SL roadster is a highly desired “big drum brake” example with only several hundred miles driven since completion of a thorough nut-and-bolt restoration by Mercedes-Benz experts in 2015. As one of only five roadsters delivered in 653 Fantasy Yellow, it is a head turner in every way and is well sorted for driving events or concours display.
