Dressed in its original, elegant color combination of Papyrus White over dark green leather and enhanced by painted rudge wheels, this 1961 "big brake" shines as one of the best sorted 300SL’s for touring that we've seen in many years. Ready for daily excursions and sorted specifically for the most arduous of long distance touring events, very few 300SL’s come available that have this sort of visual appeal and performance capability combined with such an array of original accessories along with exceptional, documented history from new.
