Discover automotive opulence with our featured masterpiece—a stunning Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, a true gem with low ownership and an extraordinary set of numbers-matching components, including the chassis, body, engine, gearbox, rear axle, steering box, and both front axles.
This exceptional Roadster underwent meticulous scrutiny by RM experts before being entrusted to the renowned 300 SL specialists at Coachwerks Restoration in Victoria, British Columbia. The result?

A concours-level detailing of the undercarriage, motor, and engine bay adds the finishing touch.
Carefully preserved with over $250,000 in accompanying invoices, this Roadster comes with a copy of its data card, period service invoices, and detailed Coachwerks Restoration records. A collection of 300 SL Roadster ownership manuals completes the package.
