This 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster is a used car showing 69,986 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver with a Red interior.
Among the very last 300 SL Roadsters, delivered after production officially ended in February 1963, it combines the disc brakes of 1961 with the light-alloy block of 1962; the seller puts the cars built to this final specification at about 210. A customer from Milwaukee ordered it on 5 January 1963 and collected it in Stuttgart on 4 March under the tourist delivery scheme.
Its early history is recorded, original purchase invoice included. Four owners have had it, one of them from 1973 to 2014, who kept its original leather; the present owner has had it for ten years. A renowned expert has verified its numbers and materials, and it is registered in Germany.
The car is located in Hamburg, Germany.
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.
Equipment as listed by the dealer. Verify the specification with the dealer before purchase.
FAQ
The car is located in Hamburg, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or 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.
69,986 km recorded, against a median of 63,510 km across the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
Thiesen, a professional dealer in Hamburg, Germany.

LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.
The car is at Hamburg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Thiesen before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
