Completed in April of 1961, this 300 SL Roadster was originally fitted with disc brakes and finished in light grey with a brown leather interior. It is understood to be sold new to a Belgian enthusiast and then returned to Germany in 1976. Here it was fitted with a factory supplied replacement engine and later gearbox. For both of these, the factory issued an official installation pass. The next owner would own the car between 1980 and 1997 and had it restored during the early 1990s. It remained in Germany and was maintained by specialist HK Engineering. In 2023, it returned to Belgium as it was consigned to headline the Bonhams The Autoworld Sale in Brussels.
