Offering, A Handsome 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster Alongside
Highlights from the Upcoming July Petroliana and Memorabilia Online
Auctions
Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is delighted
to announce it will present an exceptional
1963
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster for private sale at the
prestigious and exclusive Savile Row Concours d’Elegance this 22-23
of May. Additional highlights of the display will also include
selected petroliana and memorabilia lots that will be offered via
Online Auction in July and October of 2024. The July Broad Arrow
Online Auction will consist of a single-owner collection that
features more than 200 lots of petroliana, all of which will be
offered without reserve, while the Fall sale will be made of
principally Formula One memorabilia.
Karsten Le Blanc, Vice President of Broad
Arrow Capital and Head of EMEA, states, “On behalf of my English
and European colleagues, I am delighted to share our excitement in
being a first-time sponsor of the Savile Row Concours d’Elegance.
We are excited to present this exceptional Private Sales
Mercedes-Benz for consideration alongside highlights from the
upcoming Petroliana and memorabilia sales. For an entirely bespoke
experience, we encourage those interested to stop by our space
alongside The Huntsman for a compelling display curated with
outstanding taste and superior craftsmanship.”
The 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, offered at
£1,200,000, is one of 26 final-model-year 300 SL
Roadsters, and the 13th from the very last car built, is among only
210 late-production examples of the iconic Mercedes-Benz that is
equipped with Dunlop disc brakes and an aluminum engine block.
Originally dispatched to a marque distribution agency in the
Netherlands, the car was initially finished in Light Blue (DB 334)
over Burgundy leather (DB 202).
Prior to joining the current owner’s stable, chassis no. 003246
was the subject of a concours-quality restoration by Jürgen Kassen
in Oerlinghausen, Germany to its current, period-correct Pearl
Green (DB 213) exterior and green leather finishes. The monumental
undertaking also saw the Roadster receive numerous mechanical
upgrades and modern convenience features, including an improved
cooling system and a diaphragm spring clutch, electric windows,
Becker Mexico radio with GPS, air-conditioning and a highly coveted
removable body-colour hard-top.
Matt Coles, Petroliana and Memorabilia
Specialist for Broad Arrow, states, “I am delighted to present this
outstanding UK-based collection of Petroliana. Highlights range
from very rare and special pre-war gas pumps to large-scale
Michelin Bibendums. The auction will comprise approximately 200
lots and be hosted on the Broad Arrow Auctions website this July,
please check the website in the coming weeks as all lots are posted
for early bidding. Coming this Fall, we are thrilled to present an
exciting collection of racing memorabilia including significant F1
helmets as a feature, further details will be announced in the
coming weeks.”
Most of the recently announced new team members, including
UK-based specialists Joe
Twyman, Robert
Glover, Harry Wassell, and
Petroliana and Memorabilia specialist Matt
Coles, will be onsite during the two-day event to answer
any questions regarding the Private Sales Mercedes-Benz, the
upcoming Petroliana auction this July, or consignment inquiries for
the upcoming August Monterey Jet Center auction. Additional
expertise will be represented by Karsten Le Blanc, Nick Barton and

for any collector car finance queries.
