Descrizione

With the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz 300 in 1952, a bridge was created between the classic and modern eras of the automotive industry. This car combined modern engineering and performance with an elegance and build quality reminiscent of a bygone era. Each unit was built to uncompromising standards, utilizing the latest materials and best technologies to achieve maximum power and minimal weight. The exquisite finishes and woodwork, combined with the ability to reach triple-digit speeds with a full load of passengers and their luggage, made the 300 an absolute masterpiece. And while the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing is rightfully considered an icon of Mercedes, the 300S Roadster is the ultimate example of a car that was suited for the very wealthy. A Mercedes where luxury and comfort were paramount.

The Mercedes-Benz 300S, an evolution of the already luxurious 300 series, received extra attention to exterior appearance and build quality. This resulted in a price almost 50 percent higher than its counterparts. Equipped with triple Solex carburetors, paired with a 2,996-cubic-centimeter engine producing 150 hp, this car was one of the best luxury touring cars available in the 1950s. Only 141 roadsters of this beautiful 300S were built, further enhancing its rarity and exclusivity.

A car of this caliber deserves an elegant yet understated color scheme, and this particular example fits the bill perfectly with its refined black paint and gray leather upholstery and carpets. This combination emphasizes the stately appearance of the Mercedes-Benz and fits like a bespoke suit. The extensive documentation confirms that this 300S has always been in the right hands, maintained with the care and attention befitting a car of this class. The car comes with extensive restoration photos that accurately show the work carried out.

The German roadster has been meticulously restored in the past. The mechanical components were completely disassembled and revised down to the last detail before being reassembled. After this restoration, the 300S has led a life befitting its luxurious character and exclusivity. The current condition of the car is truly stunning. This is not an over-restored car but a fantastic example of craftsmanship where restoration and originality form a perfect mix.

The black paint is in excellent condition, and all details, such as the chrome work and rubbers, are perfectly maintained. Everything about this car exudes the care and attention it deserves. The interior is also a feast for the eyes: the gray leather is in excellent condition, and both the front seats and the stately rear seat offer unparalleled comfort. The instruments, buttons, radio, and clock are like a journey back in time to the heyday of Art Deco. Everywhere you look, you see the perfection that is so characteristic of the Mercedes-Benz 300S.

The engineering of this car is simply impressive. The powerful three-liter inline six-cylinder engine delivers a comfortable 150 hp and is operated via a column shift. The driving experience is as majestic and refined as you would expect from a car in this class. The 300S, known as one of the most exclusive and expensive models Mercedes-Benz has ever built, offers a driving experience that lives up to its reputation. Driving, braking, and steering are all as you would expect from a vehicle of this caliber.
