303S Mercedes-Benz 300SL rare early edition

Regular price £80.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is a very rare model. It is the blue 303 with a white interior and the small grey steering wheel with suspension fitted to make it the S version. It also has flat wheels which are free spinning.

These are most unusual and would have been replaced after a brief period, probably of a few months, by the silver-plated edition or with shaped wheels fitted (and, later another blue one with a yellow interior).

This example is in very nice condition and has an intact original screen and a clean white interior. There are several minor marks to the paintwork which I have to say are barely noticeable on display and yet clear in these photos. It is a lovely looking model. A previous owner has added some colour to the seats and detailing to the interior but they have done it very well and I am happy to leave it as it is. For anyone preferring to have the original white plastic then I would imagine that is not a difficult task to remove the additional paint.

The suspension is firm as always on these models. The wheels are good and tyres look original.

This edition would not have been issued with a driver.
