The Type 300 S (W 188 I) was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1951 and is today one of the most sought-after collectors cars of all. With a list price of DM 36,500, the Mercedes 300 Sc (W 188 II) with fuel injection engine was DM 7,500 more expensive than the 300 SL Gullwing at the time! Only 98 examples of the fuel injected 300Sc coupes ( built between January 1956 and July 1957) and one of the rarest post-war offerings from the factory!

According to the data card copy, the offered vehicle was completed on 25.06.1956 and delivered to one Mr. J. Louis in the USA on 29.05.1957. Until recently this lovely coupe resided most majoritly of its life in California. Based on its well-preserved original condition, the car underwent an extensive restoration by marque specialists over a period of four years. Before having been restored the car had been with the Arsuaga family in La Jolla, California for 30 years and was traded through well-known 300 Sc expert Chuck Brahms. A rare opportunity to acquire an early example of the coveted 300 Sc Coupé in particularly beautiful condition.

Inside, the tan leather is combined with original handles and fittings, covered with the carefully restored walnut dashboard. The trunk is fitted with a custom built storage compartment, brown leather luggage set, the spare wheel, and tools that are in excellent condition.

The high quality restoration was carried out by Sebastian Dominguez, a specialist at SB Coachwork Restorations in Southern California. They are most well known for their metal finishing without the use of fillers. The 300Sc was in good original condition when the restoration started. Every component of the car has been rebuilt and restored. The factor chrome wheels (correctly dated) look fantastic.

Mechanical fine-tuning was carried out by Doctor Jaguar in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The coupé has been prepared for long distances and spirited tours and is very well sorted.
