This wonderful 300 SL roadster was completed on September 2nd 1962 in Sindelfingen and was subsequently delivered to a Dutch Mercedes-Benz dealer. This dream roadster waited a total of three years for its first owner, a wealthy gentleman from Tilburg. The vehicle remained in first ownership until 1972. Then a Dutch family acquired the vehicle, financed by a gold bar which was stored in a Swiss bank. Until 2008 the vehicle remained in the family and was left more or less untouched as a "family treasure". This changed in January 2009, when the vehicle was transferred to the specialist HK Engineering in Stuttgart. An all-encompassing and qualitatively perfect restoration of the vehicle was carried out without regard to any costs. The result is, optically as well as technically, an exceptional roadster that is probably extremely rare.
