1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Coupé
- Engine
- Fuel-injected variant of the 300-series engine (Bosch injection)
- Colour
- Dark blue over gray leather
The Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Coupé is among the rarest postwar luxury automobiles, one of only 98 examples of the coupé body style built before production ended in 1958, out of a total 300 Sc run of just 200 cars across all variants. Powered by a Bosch fuel-injected 300-series engine and hand-crafted to the highest standard, it was the most exclusive expression of Mercedes-Benz's flagship postwar touring line. This example was sold new to a buyer in Frankfurt and retains its original chassis, engine, and body; it has since been restored to concours standards and presents in Dark Blue over grey leather.
