Our 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SC Cabriolet A is one of the most exclusive and desirable luxury vehicles of the post-war era. As one of only 49 examples ever produced, this ultra-rare Cabriolet A represents the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship, combining timeless design, advanced technology, and unparalleled luxury.

The 300SC Cabriolet was designed to be the ultimate statement of sophistication, capturing the attention of Hollywood’s biggest stars and society’s elite. With a revolutionary mechanical fuel injection system—the same technology that powered the legendary 300SL Gullwing—and the addition of power steering, this car was at the forefront of innovation in 1955. It was a technical tour de force, offering refinement and performance that few could rival. Notably, it commanded a higher price when new than the 300SL Gullwing, underscoring its exclusivity and appeal to the most discerning clientele.

This particular example comes with an impeccable provenance, having been previously owned by Mr John Calley, the influential President of Warner Brothers. A man known for his refined taste and creative vision, Calley’s ownership further enhances the car’s allure.

The car has recently been recommissioned by the world-renowned Jim Stokes Workshops, ensuring it is in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition. Finished in a stunning shade of Ivory, its elegant exterior is complemented by a luxurious Chocolate leather interior, creating a truly timeless aesthetic. The attention to detail in its presentation highlights the meticulous care it has received throughout its life.

As the rarest variant of the already exclusive 300SC series, this Cabriolet A is a true collector’s dream. It is a car that not only embodies the pinnacle of 1950s luxury but also represents a landmark in automotive history. Whether gracing the concours lawn or gliding effortlessly down the road, this 300SC Cabriolet delivers an unparalleled experience of sophistication, heritage, and driving pleasure.

A rare opportunity to own one of Mercedes-Benz’s finest creations, this car is the ultimate expression of style, innovation, and exclusivity.
