Our truly exceptional 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC Cabriolet A, one of only 49 ever built and the rarest variant of the renowned 300Sc series. Recognised as the ultimate post-war Mercedes cabriolet, this model was a favourite among Hollywood’s elite, known for its elegance, exclusivity, and cutting-edge engineering.

Priced higher than the legendary 300SL Gullwing when new, the 300 SC Cabriolet A features a 3.0-litre inline-six engine with direct fuel injection, offering both superior performance and refined luxury. This particular example is finished in stunning Ivory with a rich Chocolate leather interior, showcasing its timeless appeal.

What makes this car even more special is its prestigious history—it was once owned by John Calley, former President of Warner Brothers, further cementing its connection to Hollywood’s golden era. Recently recommissioned by Jim Stokes Workshops, this 300 SC has been carefully restored to ensure it’s ready for both driving and display.

With its rarity, impeccable provenance, and recent expert restoration, this 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC Cabriolet A represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most exclusive and desirable Mercedes-Benz models in existence.
