Description

  • Only 53 (!) examples of the 300 Sc Roadster were ever built
  • Owned by the penultimate owner in Germany from 1987 to 2022 – that’s 35 years and half the car’s lifetime
  • Attractive, elegant colour scheme in dark blue, combined with a dark red leather interior and a dark blue soft top
  • Previously restored, well-maintained and with a light, refined patina
  • Engine ‘matching numbers’, data card on delivery specs available
  • Original luggage set included!
  • At the time, the most exclusive Mercedes, more expensive than a 300 SL – a “manufactured” car from the 1950s for the “upper 10,000”

According to the data card, this Mercedes 300 Sc Roadster was completed at the factory in March 1956 and subsequently shipped to the USA. The original colour scheme was white-grey (colour code 158) with a leather interior in green (1078) and white-grey (1083), as well as a black soft top.

In the mid-1980s, the exclusive roadster returned to Germany to an owner in the Rotenburg/Wümme area, who remained loyal to the car for a full 35 years (!). In 1987, he had many components overhauled or replaced at a Mercedes-Benz authorised dealer in Hamburg. A detailed invoice for 62,000 DM is available for this work, which was a considerable sum for such a project at the time. Among other things, the engine (the original unit with ‘matching numbers’) was repaired, parts of the chassis were overhauled, and various bodywork and trim components, as well as panels, were refurbished. The vehicle was also repainted. In 2022, the 300 Sc passed to its final owner in the Bonn area.

Today, the 300 Sc Roadster is presented in a classic dark blue paint finish with a dark red leather interior – a very stylish, sophisticated combination. The leather, which has been refurbished over time, has developed a subtle, attractive patina, and the fine woods make a high-quality impression with a beautiful surface finish. The gaps between the body panels are precise and the bodywork is uniformly flat. All fittings and trim pieces also fit perfectly. Furthermore, the engine impresses with its excellent running performance. And the sublime driving experience is a loyal companion in this 300 Sc Roadster.
