Who knew this long-time owned, babied and driven 300SL was special, unusual or even rare? Not its owner unfortunately, but luckily enough he purchased this amazing car at a young age, as a standard equipped 300SL with no options,not even a radio, so he thought.
Every car restoration involves paint and body, upholstery and trim and all mechanical items to be restored to perfection. What do the winners have or do that separates them from the pack? They have an expert to research the car's history, authentication and preservation of all of it's details from the build sheet to leaving the factory and knowing it's complete history of ownership. Every restoration also includes authentic documentation, all owner's manuals and various types of documentation, tools, related features and brochures that would have come with the original sale. All to complete a true history and facts about the car being presented to the judges. As seen below in the picture are all the comprehensive documentation , tools, tool Kit, manuals, etc. The was displayed to show this one of a kind 300SL and it's very special history. If you would like more info on this unique car, please call me at he office 912-459-0380 and I would enjoy talking with you.
It has been my pleasure to work with the owner, Dr. Lorenzo Triana III while making discoveries and helping to chart a course to arrive at the winner's circle to receive the Phil Hill Best New Restoration award at The Amelia, which was Dr. Triana's very first concurs, making the day very special for all of us. And the story continues, so watch for this special 300SL at other Concours during the year ahead. It was my pleasure working with the rest of the team on the very special car and I want to congratulate them also; Steve and John at Steve Crowley Services, know for their constantly exceptional show winning body and paint work. Will Samples at S&S Imports, well known for 300SL and 190SL mechanical expertise.

Success at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 2023
Congratulations to our customers/friends that won this year at the 25th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance!
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is always the magnificent non-stop car week that is capped off with the outstanding concours of top show cars that you have likely never seen before and most likely will never come together again.
To bring home a win with such a large field of top-quality show cars of perfection is impressive to say the least with so many competing for the 27 Class Awards, 21 Special Awards, 4 Elegance Awards, 3 Best of Show Nominees and only 1 Best of Show. Mind boggling but you did it!
