1961 Mercedes Benz 300SL roadster, Serial Number 19804210002703, Engine Number 19898010002752, 534 Fire Red with black leather, black convertible soft top, body colored factory hard top, 3.0 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection making 240hp, 4 speed manual transmission, drum brakes, ivory steering wheel and shift knob, original colors, matching numbers original engine and transmission. The W198 chassis 300SL roadster was introduced at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show and is a descendant of the wildly successful successful W194 race car, whose victories included the Le Mans 24 Hours and Carrera Pan Americana. The roadster shares an evolved version of the Rudolf Uhlenhaut designed lightweight tubular chassis of the race car, as well as having a steel body, lightweight aluminum door skins, bonnet, and trunk lid. Our 300SL is a USA example, is completely matching numbers throughout as confirmed by the factory data card on file, the USA rear marker lights still present, and comes to us from its passionate nonagenarian owner who has owned the 300SL since 1988. The roadster presents nicely throughout, drives the very same, and is wearing a decades old re-paint, an beautifully aged original interior, and is in need of a proper specialist servicing and sorting to update many deferred maintenance items. An ideal candidate for restoration, or simply use and enjoy this matching numbers roadster just as it has been for the past 37 years.
