Anyone looking for a 300 Sc Roadster is looking for one of the most exclusive cars Mercedes-Benz built in the 1950s – only 53 were made. According to the copy of the factory data card on file, this car was delivered on 12 November 1957 to the then Mercedes-Benz distributor in New York, finished in strawberry red metallic (DB 543) with cream leather and a black soft top. It left the factory in US specification, including sealed-beam headlamps, instruments with English markings and a Becker ‘Mexico’ radio.

Its documentation is equally compelling: vehicle papers from three countries trace the Roadster’s journey – from a Florida Certificate of Title (2004) to its inspection as a historic vehicle in Spain at the end of 2006, when the authority expressly confirmed that the chassis number matched, and its registration as a ‘vehículo histórico’ in 2007, and on to Germany, where it arrived after deregistration in Spain in 2013 and is now registered with historic number plates.

Over several years, a specialist in 1950s Mercedes-Benz cars based in northern Germany fully and faithfully restored the Roadster and returned it to its original delivery colour; older papers still record different colours. To the best of our knowledge, strawberry red metallic is exceptionally rare on a 300 Sc – the shade was also worn by a number of 300 SLs. Under the bonnet is the fuel-injected M 199 engine numbered 199 980 75 00034 – matching the engine recorded on the factory data card. With restoration costs only slightly below the current purchase price, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the rarest open Mercedes-Benz models of the post-war era on particularly attractive terms.
