This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster is a used car showing 13,440 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Fire Engine Red with a Tan interior.

A first-year Roadster, this 300 SL was fully restored in 2007 by a recognised 300 SL specialist who kept the work faithful to the original specification. It left the factory with drum brakes and has since been fitted with front discs of a type correct for the period.

An authenticity assessment, including forensic analysis of its materials, confirms that it keeps its matching numbers. The dealer describes it as excellent inside, outside and mechanically. It is finished in Fire Engine Red with tan leather, and the photographs also show a colour-matched hardtop, an ivory steering wheel and a period radio.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster uses the 2,996 cc M198 straight-six, tilted 45 degrees, with Bosch mechanical direct injection and the sports camshaft as standard, rated at 215 PS (158 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 275 Nm, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels through a low-pivot single-joint swing axle.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €1,425,000, it sits above the median of €155,000 for the 345 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 99% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €16,617 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €1,425,000, 8476% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1957 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

13,440 km recorded, against a median of 14,618 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
