Seller's comments about 1958' Mercedes-Benz 300
On behalf of my brother, I am privately selling a beautiful and healthy 1958 Mercedes 300d ("hardtop limousine") in "pearl gray 125" paintwork with a steel sunroof, Becker radio, four-speed gearbox and blue-green velor interior. It is the more attractive early variant with the beautiful old steering wheel (ivory white) and the filigree control switches. Luckily also for the switch version, because the old BorgWarner automatic not only ate a lot of power, but also driving pleasure due to its roughness. A lot(!) has been invested in the car over the last three decades. A small fortune was invested in the interior alone (wood, radio, headlining, velor) and it is still in perfect condition today. The history goes back to 1965, when the first letter was exchanged for a second (still existing) "cardboard letter". With the help of the Mercedes-Benz archive, however, the first owner is now known. There are many expensive bills: In 1999, for example, more than 20,000 DM was invested in an engine overhaul or in 2005 EUR 5,250 in the overhaul of the injection system. And so the car still drives today as it should be for a "state-supporting" car - absolutely sovereign. A stainless steel exhaust system was also installed. It has H-approval and has been driven by my brother for years with a private red license plate. The TÜV will of course be renewed upon request upon purchase.
As is so often the case, there is also a drop of bitterness: when the paintwork was done decades ago, small bubbles formed in some places because some components were not compatible with each other. However, these have nothing (!!!) to do with rust and behind them you will only find perfectly healthy sheet metal. In general, the car seems never to have seen a welder, although it is a car that was driven in Germany. Please respect our asking price of EUR 75,000 (regardless of the daily exchange rate). It is not a fire sale and the money is certainly better spent in this historic car than in the bank!
