We can’t speak for you, but we don’t have an extra £1.5-2M hanging around in our pockets here at The Status Life. However, if we did, it’s likely that we’d be investing in this remarkable 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster which is up for sale as a private lot by RM Sotheby’s. It has been under the ownership of a single family and has covered 380,000 miles since new, showcasing the finest late production disc brake and alloy block combination.
This magnificent 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster from RM Sotheby’s was personally picked up by Mercedes-Benz expert Ron Cushway from the factory and has been extensively driven across continental Europe on multiple occasions, contributing to its rich and esteemed background, enhancing its charm even more, in our opinion. Presently, it is in the possession and care of his son, Martin Cushway, who is the foremost 300 SL specialist in the UK.
A key highlight of this offering from RM Sotheby’s is that it has been through numerous innovative enhancements designed and installed to enhance the performance of this splendid vehicle, including ABS brakes, all of which are reversible. This 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roaders comes with an impressive collection of original components, accessories, historical records, and period images that will greatly contribute to its genuineness and attractiveness for vintage car enthusiasts.
Through the years, the Cushway family has built an outstanding historical archive comprising various period papers, photographs, and the vehicle’s original owners, service, and workshop manuals. The car comes with a range of spare and genuine parts, including the original hardtop, toolkit, gearbox, and cylinder head.
