SALE PENDING to Germany. See all details at
www.classicpromenade.com. 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 2020. 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. The tan leather
luggage is in the trunk and really sets the motorcar apart as the
ultimate touring machine. 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) look fantastic. 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 dEste. It has recently been
inspected by a renowned expert who verified the quality of the
restoration work. The finishing mechanical fine-tuning has been
completed by Doctor Jaguar in Albuquerque, NM. The Coupe has been
prepared for long distance and spirited touring and is very well
sorted. This motorcar is ready for immediate enjoyment. Chassis
