Seller's comments about 1961' Mercedes-Benz 300
1961 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster
Cars International Heritage are pleased to offer this rare “big drum” brake 1961 300 SL Roadster. One of only five roadsters originally delivered in Fantasy Yellow (DB653) it was originally supplied with a 953 black leather interior.
The “big drum” racing brakes were available as an intermediary braking system between the standard drum brakes of the 1957 to 1960 cars and the disc brake cars of 1961 through 1963. They are the rarest of the 300SL braking systems and many 300SL mechanics and enthusiasts consider it to be the most effective braking system the model has to offer.
Completely restored in 2015 by Mercedes specialists and only covered several hundred miles since. Restored in the original colour of DB653 Fantasy Yellow.
One of only five examples delivered in DB653 with complimenting dark Green leather interior and matching canvas soft top with correct square weave carpeting. Also fitted with Rudge knock off wheels, rare and desirable “Big Drum” brakes, factory hard top (black) EU spec headlights, fitted matching luggage and Becker Mexico automatic radio. The car is accompanied by photographs and receipts from the restoration and comes with copy of the factory data card, owner’s manual, tool kit and jack. Matching numbers. .
