Regular Classic Driver readers will know that we’re into classic Mercedes at the moment, and tipping certain cars – in particular ‘pre-merger’ AMGs – to increase in popularity. With the Arizona sales just around the corner, we’ve chosen our 10 favourite classic Mercedes from the catalogues…
There is a fantastic selection of Mercedes-Benzes due to cross the block at the RM Sotheby’s and Gooding & Co Arizona sales next week. From the regal, such as the 1957 300 Sc Cabriolet A (est. 1-1.3m US dollars), to the drop-dead gorgeous – take the 1961 190 SL (est. 150,000-200,000 dollars), for example.
If we had to pick one, however, it would be the 1956 300 C that was converted into a station wagon by its first owner. Complete with split rear hatch (perfect for the dog) and very stylish white-wall tyres, it’s estimated to fetch 375,000-425,000 dollars. You can find the entire catalogues for both the RM Sotheby’s and Gooding & Co Arizona sales listed in the Classic Driver Market. From them, these are our 10 favourite Mercedes-Benzes.
