This is a very late example of the Mercedes 300SL Roadster. It is the first edition without suspension but this one has shaped wheels. These would have started to have been fitted in 1961 but the 303S with suspension would be issued in March 1961 so this must be particularly scarce.

It is in splendid condition with clean and almost unmarked white paintwork, shiny wheels, good tyres and no rust on the tin base. The chips on teh paintwork are very minor and the only real fault is the cracked windscreen. This is not that obvious, however, and the model still looks lovely on display.

It is an item which may well be missing from your collection - even for Mercedes specialists!
