Are you a classic car enthusiast looking for a beautiful and well-maintained 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster? Look no further than Carmagazine’s private collection that currently owns this particular vehicle. With just 54,941 miles on the clock, this original 300SL has only undergone one original Blue Gray repaint (blaugrau, code 166) and its engine has been reworked by LYCO Engineering. The interior and convertible have also been expertly re-upholstered by Master Upholstery, making this 300SL one of the best driving examples on the market.
This 300SL Roadster has an interesting history, having been delivered to Gary Rappaport of Minneapolis, Minnesota, before passing through a number of owners, including the late Merl Wogoman, also known as “Mr. 190SL” in the Mercedes-Benz Club Circle. After being professionally restored by LYCO Engineering and Master Upholstery, the car was later sold to the late Emil McConnell, a renowned gun collector. Since then, the car has been cared for by Fox Motorsports, where it is serviced to the highest standards, having run only 2,000 miles since 1986.
The condition of this 300SL is exceptional, with paint and bodywork showing only minor paint stains and little to no rust, thanks to the car’s excellent care and regular detailing. The engine bay, underbody and trunk are all original and in excellent condition, while the interior shows a level of use that matches the condition of the rest of the vehicle.
At Carmagazine, we performed an annual service on this vehicle regardless of mileage, with servicing performed at our climate-controlled facility. Every need is scrutinized, including annual oil changes, spark plugs, coolant flushes, and routine brake fluid changes. This 300SL has been kept in top condition no matter the cost.
Don’t miss the opportunity to own this rare and special 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster. Contact Carmagazine today to schedule a viewing and learn more about this beautiful antique car.
