My folks' neighbor has an unrestored 300SL in better shape--at
least, the interior is--but it was painted black over the original
silver (a better color, IMO, esp. with red interior). I got a ride
in it the other day; it's (relatively) big, heavy and solid, but not
nearly as nimble or as much fun as our BN2.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Not so surprising. At least with an
original unrestored car you know what you get. Most restored
cars have a multitude of hidden sins that are very hard to find
and can be way more expensive to put right.<br>

<div>To agree a bit more, last year two 300SL Gullwing appeared
in the same auction.</div>
<div>The 2 cars had very similar histories.</div>
<div>The rough one sold for a lot more than the restored one.</div>
