  • 1978-lotus-esprit-s2-world-championship-commemorative-jps-edition

    Confirmed by historic Lotus Cars Ltd correspondence as car #001 and displayed at the 1978 Earls Court Motor Show. Since restored and offered from long-term ownership. Launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1978 and officially called the 'World Championship Commemorative Model', but colloquially known as the John Player Special, later shortened to JPS, it was the first and arguably the most memorable limited edition Esprit from Lotus. They were all finished in a distinctive black and gold livery which echoed the look of the John Player Special-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79s of Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. Lotus planned to build 200 examples, but it's believed that just 185 were produced; 100 for the UK, 55 for the US and 30 for Europe. The specification included gold-coloured side-stripes complete with World Championship lettering, gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and colour-coded alloy wheels. The 1,973cc 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lbs glass fibre-bodied two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124mph. The short production run lasted from December 1978 to July 1979. At the 1978 Motor Show, there was only one British sportscar manufacturer that displayed a World Championship winner and a similarly liveried, special edition model and we are delighted to offer that very road car. As confirmed by a letter from Lotus Cars Ltd, dated 1st February 1993, chassis #78100491G, '…was the first World Championship Commemorative Esprit to be built and was also the show car at the Motor Show'. Additional build records on file dated 12th January 1993 from Lotus Cars Ltd, confirm that chassis #78100491G was supplied by a Dublin dealer to the owner of the Reuter’s Restaurant of Westmoreland Street, Dublin on the 24th August 1979. Interestingly, a 2017 entry by a Mr Caroll on an online forum about historic Dublin restaurants states that he remembers the Lotus outside the restaurant back in the day. Sales information provided to our vendor confirms that the car was imported into the UK in 1989 by the previous owner and commenced an extensive six year restoration, after which the odometer was zeroed. It was registered with the DVLA on 4th October 1995 and subsequently purchased by our vendor in 2006. The schedule of works prior to our vendor’s ownership can only be described as ground up' and we welcome inspection of the detailed file. Used sparingly, but run up to temperature during brief but regular outings, the current odometer reading is 1,840 miles and the car will be freshly serviced and MOT tested prior to our auction. This historically important motorcar has a fabulous file that includes reams of receipts, a Series 2 handbook (once used as a coaster), two keys and the aforementioned Lotus Cars Ltd correspondence confirming its pedigree. Whilst the most famous Lotus Esprit of all time entered the Sardinian waters with James Bond at the wheel and will likely never come to market, the other most recognisable Esprit, the JPS is very special and none more than car #001. 1978 Lotus Esprit S2 World Championship Commemorative JPS Edition Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC 1

    A stunning example of AMG's autobahn-crushing, 6.0-liter DOHC super coupe; one of the decade's most iconic and era-defining poster cars A well-presented AMG Certified Widebody with 89,832 kilometers ~ 55,819 miles Since New Unquestionably one of the most iconic and recognizable German supercars of its era, this AMG-modified super-coupe offers unparalleled luxury, performance, and German reliability wrapped in a visually stunning package. In October 2024 this benchmark example was inspected and verified by AMG Classic and received its Certificate and 'Certified Original' Plaque This is a German built example and was built by none other than Hartmut Feyhl, AMG employee number “25” which is stamped on the engine. Importantly Hartmut Feyhl would go on to found the world renowned engineering firm RENNtech in 1989. During Monterey Car Week 2024, this car was displayed at the Quail Motorsports Gathering and was subsequently photographed by RIOCAM. It will be featured in an upcoming coffee table book. This is a highly optioned factory AMG Widebody, less than 50 cars were made, the history has been researched and the car retains its original engine and special features. The previous owner acquired it in Japan in 2016 and in 20The underside had been dry iced detailed and the older repaint presents nicely throughout. The interior is equally nice with only minor wear. The car drives really well and pulls hard in the high RPMS. From its 205-employee operation in Affalterbach, Germany, the engine builder, racing team, and tuning firm AMG had, by 1989, already released some of the most powerful, outrageous, and well-engineered creations. At this time, the company was nearly four years into a marquee motorsport partnership with Mercedes-Benz and growing a thriving, worldwide network of franchisees providing road cars to eager clients. In fact, AMG and Sauber were the corporate partners by which Mercedes-Benz had clandestinely instigated in 1984, —and then officially announced in 1989, its return to the highest echelons of motorsport with the reactivation of its legendary Sportabteilung—"sports department”—and famous “Silver Arrow” racecars. But the world-beating partnership between Mercedes-Benz and AMG, which many automotive enthusiasts and motorsport fans today take for granted, is unlikely to have ever materialized without the novel, high-performance engineering breakthroughs developed for Mercedes-Benz engines by AMG co-founder, Erhard Melcher. Melcher's 1984 opus—the dual-overhead-camshaft cylinder-head conversion kit for Mercedes-Benz's M117 V-8 engine not only made his reputation, but also solidified the superiority, uniqueness, and cachet of AMG's products against the near-endless sea of aftermarket tuning shops. This 1989 560 SEC AMG 6.0 “Wide-Body” is an exemplary representative of one of AMG's wildest and most famous era-defining creations. The insane costs of AMG's 6.0-liter engine package, DOHC conversion, and wide-body aero kit tacked onto the sticker price of a brand-new, flagship S-Class coupe unequivocally made this car one of the most expensive roadgoing marvels of the “Excessive Eighties.” Presented today in the ideal color combination of Blue-Black Metallic (199U) over Anthracite leather, this 560 SEC was originally specified as a German-market order with gray leather upholstery and completed in September 1989. At the time of this car's production, the hottest market for AMG customer cars was Japan. Those that ended up there were created via two distinct methods. The first—as evinced by the characteristics of this car—involved the acquisition of barely-used or brand-new German-market cars and their subsequent modification by AMG in Affalterbach prior to export to Japan. The second method involved the conversion of Japanese-market cars with crate engines and parts supplied by AMG Germany to dealer group Yanase's network of AMG Japan branches. AMG Germany transformed the subject lot into its current specification on October 4, 1989, and immediately exported it to Japan. It then remained in Japan until April 2016, where it was last registered in Kobe (Osaka) as “302 47-76” with approximately 87,850 kilometers (54,587 miles) showing at the time of export to the United Kingdom. Following a brief spell in the United Kingdom, Austrian collector purchased and registered it in Bregenz as “B 8792.” In 2020, it was then acquired by a previous owner and exported from Austria with just 88,240 kilometers (54,829 miles) indicated. The car's Anthracite leather interior remains attractive and well-preserved with notable highlights including a set of multifunction Recaro Ideal seats, as well as an attractive complement of burl wood trim on the doors, dashboard, and center console. A four-spoke, leather-wrapped, AMG-branded Momo M38 steering wheel fronts an instrument suite featuring AMG's signature 300-kph speedometer and clad in burl wood. The car's exterior and mechanicals remain equally correct, with AMG body numbers found on the front fenders, bumpers, and side skirts, while the DOHC valve cover stampings correctly identify the engine's 6.0-liter displacement, sequence number, and appropriate employee ID code. Further stampings on the heads, exhaust manifolds, and throttle body are similar testaments to this coupe's significant modifications. Even the color-matched set of OZ Aero III wheels bear 1989-date codes, and these cover uprated twin-piston front brakes and a full “AMG by Bilstein” suspension. Recently the AMG has received routine mechanical servicing and fitted a new set of high-performance Continental ExtremeContact 02 tires. Unquestionably one of the most iconic and recognizable German cars of its era, this AMG-modified super-coupe offers unparalleled luxury, performance, and German reliability wrapped in a visually stunning package. Alongside RUF's Porsche 930-based CTR Yellowbird, there is perhaps no more exemplary representative of Germany's Eighties tuning culture than the wide-body 1989 Mercedes-Benz S-class Coupe offered here. More expensive than a Ferrari Testarossa, faster than a Lamborghini Countach, and with ample room for four, it is the quintessential Youngtimer collector car. 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Driver Source Fine Motorcars If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 2000-lamborghini-diablo-gt

    As with many small-volume car manufacturers, the corporate history of Lamborghini is a long and intricate one. Remarkably, Ferruccio Lamborghini remained at the helm of his eponymous company for just nine years, selling a majority stake in 1972 and departing Sant’Agata Bolognese entirely in 1974. The company filed for bankruptcy in 1978, although in magnificently stoic Lamborghini fashion, production of their aging Countach continued. Finally, in 1984, the company received the stability and investment it had craved with its purchase by charismatic French brothers, Jean-Claude and Patrick Mimran. The Mimrans immediately identified the need for a long-overdue Countach replacement and in mid-1985, work commenced on the covertly named “Project 132.” The initial design work was entrusted to Marcello Gandini, who had previously presided over the Miura and Countach. However, in 1987, the Mimrans sold Lamborghini to Chrysler Corporation; the latter subsequently refined Gandini’s original design—much to the Italian’s chagrin—prior to it entering production in 1990. Appropriately dubbed Diablo, the new car featured a square-section spaceframe chassis, predictably outrageous aluminum bodywork, and an enlarged 5.7-liter version of the glorious 48-valve V-12 that had been a part of Lamborghini folklore for so long. Now producing a little under 500 horsepower, its 202-mph capability momentarily rendered it the fastest production car in the world. However, the Diablo’s size and weight—initially a portly 1,580 kilograms, or about 3,484 pounds—made the original iteration somewhat unwieldy. This was tuned for later models. With first-generation production spawning a bewildering variety of derivatives—such as the four-wheel-drive VT, high-performance SV, and lightweight SE30—the Diablo received a substantial makeover in 1999; a power increase to 529 horsepower, revised dashboard layout, and the introduction of fixed-lens headlights were among the most significant changes. Significantly, the introduction of the second-generation Diablo was accompanied by that of the Diablo GT, a track-focused yet still road-legal model partly inspired by the GT2 racing variant developed the previous year. Featuring a noticeably more aggressive look, thanks to a racing-style front air dam and three-piece split-rim OZ alloy wheels, the GT also borrowed from its racing counterpart by employing a heavily ducted front luggage compartment lid and roof-mounted ram air scoop. At its front, the car’s wings were flared substantially to accommodate its wider track, while at the rear a race-developed rear diffuser—incorporating a suitably raucous exhaust—and carbon fiber rear wing were appended. Indeed, such was the proliferation of carbon fiber throughout the car that the only substantial panels made of their original materials were the roof and doors, still fabricated from steel and aluminum, respectively. Internally, the cabin was rationalized in the interests of shedding weight, with carbon fiber internal paneling and racing bucket seats being contributory factors in the saving of over 154 pounds relative to the second-generation SV, and almost 265 pounds over the original 1990 Diablo. Finally, a longer stroke of 84 millimeters ensured that the engine capacity of the GT rose to 6.0 liters, with a resultant increase in output to some 575 horsepower. This ensured that the car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, and onward to a top speed of 210 mph. The magnificent example which RM Sotheby’s is proud to offer here is an original European-market car delivered new to Touring Auto in Milan, Italy, having been assigned the number 67 out of the 80 constructed. Exquisitely and desirably finished in Arancio Atlas paint over an orange and black leather interior with matching contrast stitching, this Diablo GT is an exceptional example that was treated to a complete engine rebuild at Lamborghini St. Gallen of Switzerland in 2017 that totaled 39,880 Swiss Francs. An additional invoice on file details a 2024 maintenance job by the same dealership that included an annual service, brake and clutch fluids, gearbox oil, handbrake system repair, and door wiring harness service. It shows 63,566 kilometers (~39,498 miles) on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. With total Diablo production estimated at 3,000 cars, it is self-evident that the GT—accounting for less than three percent of this figure—represents a very rare beast indeed. Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning and entirely justified upswell of interest in limited-production 1990s supercars, particularly multi-cylinder cars of Italian origin. A rare and highly original example, there can be few more significant or arresting cars of this genre currently available. 2000 Lamborghini Diablo GT RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1952-jaguar-xk-120-drophead

    The Jaguar XK series is, in its own right, an icon among performance cars. This English sports car was so well received upon its launch at the 1948 British International Motor Show that the Coventry brand was overwhelmed by the flood of orders, with more than 300 on the first day of the show, almost leading to bankruptcy due to its inability to meet such demand. Its success is not surprising, as its lines are so beautiful and timeless that they captivated enthusiasts around the world, becoming a favorite of Hollywood stars, who fell in love with its charms. The model we present today corresponds to a first-generation Coupe (FHC), the XK120, as evidenced by its double bumpers and two-piece windshield. It was delivered to its first owner in April 1952 in New Jersey, USA. In addition to its original pastel blue color, a layer of dark blue was applied to the lower waistline, along with the white-walled wheels, highlighting the exotic lines of this hardtop version. A very romantic aesthetic, enhanced by a dark blue and wood-finished interior, which is in perfect condition. Its mechanics work as if in perfect condition, and, thanks to a thorough overhaul, it offers the same performance as when it left Coventry, more than 70 years ago. One of the most exclusive options for enjoying the unparalleled journey back in time that comes with getting behind the wheel of a Jaguar XK120. 1952 Jaguar XK 120 drophead Auto Storica If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1966-ferrari-330-gts-by-pininfarina

    At the 1966 Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari launched the 330 GTS, the successor to the 275 GTS and the open version of the popular 330 GTC coupe. It featured an enlarged 4.0-liter V-12 breathing through three Weber DCZ/6 carburetors, producing a conservatively estimated 300 brake horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 244 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm, delivered through a five-speed transaxle and ZF limited-slip differential. Zero to 60 mph was possible in around 6.0 seconds and the top speed was nearly 150 mph, both incredibly impressive figures for a convertible in the late 1960s. Nimble driving dynamics came from a fully independent suspension comprised of unequal-length wishbones, coil springs, and Koni shock absorbers, plus anti-roll bars at both ends. Four-wheel Girling vented disc brakes sat behind either standard Campagnolo magnesium alloy or optional Borrani wire wheels. The car looked spectacular, thanks to Pininfarina bodywork that drew inspiration from the contemporary 500 Superfast, with its split front bumper, triple-louvered engine vents on each fender, and an elegant swage line along each flank, tying the front end to the rear. The bodywork was mostly steel, aside from the doors, hood, and trunk, which were formed from aluminum. The production process saw bare chassis transported directly from the Ferrari factory at Maranello to Pininfarina’s plant at Grugliasco, outside Turin, where they were fitted with bodywork before being returned to Ferrari for the final mechanical installation. Sublimely detailed, the 330 GTS’s design is widely regarded as one of the most elegant produced by Ferrari during a decade of greatness. The 330 GTS was, of course, limited in production, with only 100 examples produced. They were fiercely desirable when new and have never really fallen out of favor, with collectors still pursuing the finest examples for their stables. 330 GTS NUMBER 9369 This early 330 GTS, chassis 9369, is just the sixth example completed during the model’s production run, and was delivered new to Luigi Chinetti Motors during January 1967. Originally finished in Rosso Cina over Nero Franzi leather, 9369 was nicely equipped with a factory hardtop, Borrani wire wheels, and standard US-market instrumentation. Despite its remarkable, cutting-edge appeal as only the third GTS example delivered to the United States, 9369’s original owner wasted no time enjoying it; by 1975, it had already accrued 20,000 miles! Between 1976 and 1989, this GTS remained on the East Coast between owners in New York and Maryland. It was cosmetically refinished in Rosso Corsa sometime during the early 1980s, and by 1990 its mileage had only increased to 39,000. The car subsequently entered the personal collection of the noted California-based dealer, Fletcher Jones. In November 1994, Jones submitted 9369 to European Collectibles of Costa Mesa, California, for a thorough mechanical restoration which was finally completed by July 1995. During this restoration, the car’s cosmetics were addressed as required, and 9369’s interior was also updated with a factory-style air-conditioning system on account of its new residency in California. When offered by RM Sotheby’s at Monterey during August 2000, 9369 was recorded as having just 40,850 miles on its odometer. Since entering the consignor’s notable collection of European sports and touring cars during 2009, this exciting 330 GTS has been Red Book-certified by Ferrari Classiche as retaining its numbers-matching V-12 engine, body, and gearbox/differential. At the time of acquisition, 9369’s presentation was decidedly not up to the consignor’s extremely high standards, and so nearly $30,000 was lavished to entirely perfect its Rosso Corsa exterior, chrome brightwork, Borrani wire wheels, interior trim, and bodywork between December 2009 and June 2010. In 2020, 9369 benefited from a radiator rebuild, a tune-up of its Weber carburetors, and the sourcing of a complete factory tool kit. The car’s well-documented history and consistently recorded mileage since new all point to its currently indicated reading of nearly 48,550 miles to be its actual and true mileage. With excellent ride comfort and formidable power and handling ability, Ferrari could justifiably claim the 330 GTS to be the world's finest convertible two-seater in its day. Now offered from 17 years of cherished ownership, this magnificent example is a superb addition to the most serious Ferrari collections. 1966 Ferrari 330 GTS by Pininfarina RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright At the 1966 Paris Auto Salon, Ferrari launched the 330 GTS, the successor to the 275 GTS and the open version of the popular 330 GTC coupe. It featured an enlarged 4.0-liter V-12 breathing through three Weber DCZ/6 carburetors, producing a conservatively estimated 300 brake horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 244 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm, delivered through a five-speed transaxle and ZF limited-slip differential. Zero to 60 mph was possible in around 6.0 seconds and the top speed was nearly 150 mph, both incredibly impressive figures for a convertible in the late 1960s. Nimble driving dynamics came from a fully independent suspension comprised of unequal-length wishbones, coil springs, and Koni shock absorbers, plus anti-roll bars at both ends. Four-wheel Girling vented disc brakes sat behind either standard Campagnolo magnesium alloy or optional Borrani wire wheels. The car looked spectacular, thanks to Pininfarina bodywork that drew inspiration from the contemporary 500 Superfast, with its split front bumper, triple-louvered engine vents on each fender, and an elegant swage line along each flank, tying the front end to the rear. The bodywork was mostly steel, aside from the doors, hood, and trunk, which were formed from aluminum. The production process saw bare chassis transported directly from the Ferrari factory at Maranello to Pininfarina’s plant at Grugliasco, outside Turin, where they were fitted with bodywork before being returned to Ferrari for the final mechanical installation. Sublimely detailed, the 330 GTS’s design is widely regarded as one of the most elegant produced by Ferrari during a decade of greatness. The 330 GTS was, of course, limited in production, with only 100 examples produced. They were fiercely desirable when new and have never really fallen out of favor, with collectors still pursuing the finest examples for their stables. 330 GTS NUMBER 9369 This early 330 GTS, chassis 9369, is just the sixth example completed during the model’s production run, and was delivered new to Luigi Chinetti Motors during January 1967. Originally finished in Rosso Cina over Nero Franzi leather, 9369 was nicely equipped with a factory hardtop, Borrani wire wheels, and standard US-market instrumentation. Despite its remarkable, cutting-edge appeal as only the third GTS example delivered to the United States, 9369’s original owner wasted no time enjoying it; by 1975, it had already accrued 20,000 miles! Between 1976 and 1989, this GTS remained on the East Coast between owners in New York and Maryland. It was cosmetically refinished in Rosso Corsa sometime during the early 1980s, and by 1990 its mileage had only increased to 39,000. The car subsequently entered the personal collection of the noted California-based dealer, Fletcher Jones. In November 1994, Jones submitted 9369 to European Collectibles of Costa Mesa, California, for a thorough mechanical restoration which was finally completed by July 1995. During this restoration, the car’s cosmetics were addressed as required, and 9369’s interior was also updated with a factory-style air-conditioning system on account of its new residency in California. When offered by RM Sotheby’s at Monterey during August 2000, 9369 was recorded as having just 40,850 miles on its odometer. Since entering the consignor’s notable collection of European sports and touring cars during 2009, this exciting 330 GTS has been Red Book-certified by Ferrari Classiche as retaining its numbers-matching V-12 engine, body, and gearbox/differential. At the time of acquisition, 9369’s presentation was decidedly not up to the consignor’s extremely high standards, and so nearly $30,000 was lavished to entirely perfect its Rosso Corsa exterior, chrome brightwork, Borrani wire wheels, interior trim, and bodywork between December 2009 and June 2010. In 2020, 9369 benefited from a radiator rebuild, a tune-up of its Weber carburetors, and the sourcing of a complete factory tool kit. The car’s well-documented history and consistently recorded mileage since new all point to its currently indicated reading of nearly 48,550 miles to be its actual and true mileage. With excellent ride comfort and formidable power and handling ability, Ferrari could justifiably claim the 330 GTS to be the world's finest convertible two-seater in its day. Now offered from 17 years of cherished ownership, this magnificent example is a superb addition to the most serious Ferrari collections.

  • 1959 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster 1

    While the original Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” Coupe was exiting stage left in 1957, its successor, the 300 SL Roadster, was debuting at that year’s Geneva Auto Salon. The conversion of the 300 SL to an open car meant redesigning the chassis, which was strengthened significantly to compensate for the loss of the roof structure. Enthusiasts who may have worried about the super-leicht going “soft” had absolutely no cause for concern: Thanks to a fully synchronized gearbox, greatly improved engine mechanicals, new rear axle design, and wide range of final drive selections available to customers, the Roadster remained among the fastest-accelerating automobiles on the road. Furthermore, a redesigned fuel tank and longer rear overhang facilitated enlargement of the trunk space, an ideal dividend for owners interested in extended touring. Many featured in the garages of celebrities, racing drivers, and other successful individuals. With a list price of $11,000, ownership of a 300 SL Roadster was a dream to most, but to those with the funds to spare, the car was worth every penny. This new Mercedes-Benz was of course a revelation upon its debut, but what is remarkable is how this very special machine has continued to fascinate in the six decades that have followed. While driving a 1957 300 SL Roadster on the 2016 edition of the Colorado Grand rally, Motor Trend’s Rory Jurnecka observed, “…it occurs to me on the last morning, climbing into the car, how normal it's become to drive a 300 SL each day. It's not just that the car is essentially a race car underneath its steel and aluminum body. It's not just that the car we're driving is worth somewhere over $1 million in today's market. It's not even that the car was built in 1957 and we're putting several hundred miles on it day after day without feeling much worse for the wear or suffering any breakdowns. It is the combination of those things that is truly amazing.” Offered today from the Dare to Dream Collection, this charming US-market 300 SL Roadster benefits from a complete restoration executed in 2013 by renown marque specialist Rudi Koniczek. This open-air super-leicht is one of only 211 examples of the iconic model produced by Mercedes-Benz during their 1959 model year, and one of only 101 Roadsters from the entire production run which were furnished to customers in this outstanding color of Light Blue (DB 334). In addition to its exceptional color, the car is also presently and desirably equipped with Dunlop disc brakes, 3.64 ratio rear axle, color-matched wheels, a Becker Mexico radio, Talbot mirror, and Baisch-style seat belts. Documentation on file shows that this lovely Roadster was delivered new on 9 August 1959 to Phil Smart Mercedes-Benz of Seattle, Washington. It was reportedly retained within the family of its original owner for the next 54 years; at some point prior to 1998, it was cosmetically restored to a more restrained livery of silver paint over black leather upholstery. In 2011, this Roadster was purchased in a worn, if finely preserved, condition and immediately forwarded to the world-class restoration facilities of renowned marque specialist Rudi Koniczek. During its complete, no-expense-spared restoration, the car’s numbers-matching body and tube frame chassis were separated and stripped to bare metal, so as to uncover and address any hidden condition issues. An exhaustive photo record of Koniczek’s work (on file) illustrates that newly formed steel and aluminum panels were integrated into the car’s original body where required. The car was then repainted to its factory-correct shade of Light Blue, while its sumptuous, ergonomic interior was masterfully retrimmed in pristine red leather (1079) beneath a Dark Blue fabric Roadster top. Koniczek and his team also furnished this Roadster with a complete rebuild of its numbers-matching example of the model’s signature fuel-injected, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. Other noteworthy line items from Koniczek’s restoration worklist include the fabrication and fitment of a completely new wiring harness, and factory-correct Dunlop disc brakes. Shortly after emerging completely reborn from Rudi and Company’s premises, this sublime 300 SL Roadster was purchased by the consignor. Within the care of their climate-controlled Dare to Dream Collection, it has played the role of much-admired stablemate to a great number of automotive icons and dream cars. The new 300 SL Roadster was an improvement on the Gullwing in nearly every capacity, at least from a road-going perspective, and it has since evolved into one of Stuttgart’s most collectible models. Better yet, both the closed and open-air variants of the super-leicht enjoy the same robust, close-knit community of active owners across the world. Boasting wonderful performance and reliable enough to be enjoyed daily, the 300 SL Roadster is an enthusiast favorite for vintage rallies, long-distance touring, or even use as a regular driver at one’s summer home. A well-restored example is a requisite in any collection, and this handsome disc brake-equipped example—presented in its factory-correct color, which is rarely seen today—certainly will not disappoint. 1959 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.
