Mercedes-Benz 300 S Coupé “Matching Numbers” – 1953

The Mercedes-Benz 300 S Coupé ranks among the most exclusive and prestigious models produced by the marque in the 1950s. With only 216 units built, the Coupé is considerably rarer than the 300 SL Gullwing. This particular example, originally delivered in Bodental, Germany, is presented in exceptional condition, embodying pure class and craftsmanship.

The car has been fully and expertly restored to the highest standards. The restoration was carried out with meticulous attention to detail and full respect for the original specifications, preserving authenticity while achieving uncompromising quality. Both bodywork and mechanics have been perfected with craftsmanship, resulting in a Coupé that presents itself in true concours condition. The interior exudes the same exclusive allure, finished in the elegant and authentic color combination “Schwarz over Beige-brown.” This timeless specification enhances the model’s beauty and reflects the luxurious refinement for which the 300 S Coupé was renowned.

Importantly, this example retains its original matching-numbers engine, as documented by the original Fahrzeugdaten-Karte. For discerning collectors, this represents undeniable proof of authenticity and value.

When Mercedes-Benz introduced the 300 S Coupé in 1951, it was the most expensive and luxurious two-door car in the lineup. Priced even higher than the legendary 300 SL Gullwing, the 300 S positioned itself as the absolute flagship for the most demanding clientele. Combining hand-built quality, refined engineering, and exclusivity, the 300 S Coupé stood as a true status symbol in its day.

Today, the 300 S Coupé is regarded as one of the most desirable classics in Mercedes-Benz history. This particular example distinguishes itself not only through its rarity and matching numbers but also through the impeccable quality of its restoration. A unique opportunity to acquire one of the most luxurious and exclusive 1950s models in absolute top condition – a valuable addition to any leading collection.
