1956 Mercedes-Benz 300Sc Coupe 65800 Miles Blue Manual

Description

Just in!! This is a fresh four year concours restoration of a beautiful hand-built 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300Sc Coupe. The restoration was literally finished in March 2019. It has been owned by the Arsuaga family for the past 30 years in La Jolla, California. This 300Sc has never been shown and will provide ample opportunity to the new owner to share it at concours events worldwide. According to the data card supplied by Mercedes, this was a USA delivered car from... new to Mr. J. Louis. The Arsuaga family bought it from the internationally known 300Sc expert Chuck Brahms. This is one of the 98 fuel-injected 300Sc coupes built by Mercedes-Benz and one of the most rare post-War offerings by the factory. It is rare to have a 300Sc that was delivered new in the USA, and has been in California for most, if not all of its life. The vehicle offered here is a beautiful example that has been subject to a complete no-expense spared restoration. The livery is finished in a deep dark blue and the body retains all the original chrome work, which was individually made to fit each car. Inside, the deep tan leather is matched with original handles and fittings capped off with the carefully restored walnut dashboard. The rear compartment includes a purpose-built stowage compartment, and the spare wheel and tools are in excellent condition. This is a stunning, high quality restoration by Sebastian Dominguez at SB Coachwork Restorations in Southern California. They are well regarded for their metal finishing without using fillers. The 300Sc was in nice original condition when the restoration was started. Every component of the car was rebuilt and restored. The original chrome wheels (correctly date coded) are available and are being chrome finished and will be exchanged for the painted 300S wheels presently shown on the motorcar. This 300Sc is ready for concours competition world-wide. It has yet to be shown and is worth of Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and Villa d'Este. It has recently been inspected by a renowned expert who verified the quality of the restoration work.
