1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing
Sale Details:SOLD at $1,380,000
Auction:RM Sotheby's, RM Sotheby's Monterey 2018 on August 24th, 2018
Lot #:144
SCM #:6877337
Condition Description
"Restored to perfection with dark green and red plaid seating. Refinished at an unspecified time in black and well maintained since. An authentic restoration with fitted luggage and complete toolkit. About as good as it gets."
And to keep on a 90s theme:
If the person meets or comes close to your ridiculous reserve, then SELL IT! Is the seller waiting for the 300SL bubble to burst?
Guess what commodities take a vicious hit in a recession: That's right...TOYS.
The owner has lost nothing. He had a collectible rust bucket before the internet was invented and still has it after the auction ended.
Can I buy a car that didn't meet reserve?
For cars that do not meet reserve, the seller receives the high bidder’s contact info upon close of auction as they have won the opportunity to purchase the car. From there, it is up the two of them to work out a deal. In cases where reserve is not met, we do not share other user contact info or broker deals after the close of auction.
I read posts from a Ferrari seller who confirmed getting the high bidder contact info when the auction did not meet reserve. But he added that BaT did not provide him with contact info from the other bidders. It ain't over til it's over.
When the bids aren't high enough,
And the reserve is just too tough,
The cash and car may stay just where they are but, hey!
Always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the light side of life.
Now that I look at it, the sign doesn't say the car was used in the movie, and the car by the sign isn't a 1938 model at all. The movie car was a 1937 as pictured. Would be a shame if someone rodded a piece of memorabilia like that.
