What’s the greatest retirement gift possible? Chances are that it pales in comparison to what Mercedes-Benz gave to legendary driver Juan Manuel Fangio at the end of his career in 1958: a brand-new Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster.
Often driven by Fangio throughout South America to fulfill ambassadorial duties for Mercedes-Benz, the 300 SL is considered to be one of his favorite cars–evident by the nearly 73,000 kilometers on the odometer.
Noted as being “highly original throughout,” the 300 SL features a numbers-matching body, chassis, engine, gearbox, differential, hood frame and hardtop.
Find this 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster available from RM Sotheby’s.
