The Legendary Fangio 300 SL Roadster - RM Sotheby's Private Sales

What did Mercedes-Benz gift to their former world champion driver, Juan Manuel Fangio, to mark his retirement from Grand Prix racing in 1958? What else other than their finest sports car of the era: a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster.
The car is known to have been one of Fangio’s favorite cars, noted to have followed the driver around the world. It is believed that almost all of the 72,951 km currently showing on the odometer was accrued at the hands of Fangio. Now, the Metallic Light Blue car, kept by El Maestro through to the end of his life, is offered for sale by RM Sotheby’s Private Sales division. Watch this beautiful film about the car, which we hope brings the passion, emotion, and modesty of this incredible driver - and his prized Mercedes - to life.

Hello I apollogise of my basic english. I am from Argentina I know last week Balcarce the city where Fangio lived. The people really see Juan Manuel as a hero and the most important ídol bigger than Maradona.. sorry I want to explain that fangio was the best of one sport and an excelent person example of everything that you imagine. I refer Maradona as a fútbol player only. I think today fangio was not valorate in Argentina as the beast of gentleman that he be. I apologise again of my poor language

[@naveed_kadechur3986]

I understood everything you said & yes fangio is a hero for me too, even though I've known of him since just a few years but wow!!!5 championships with 4 different teams, Fangio was and always will be a LEGEND!

Timeless classic . I have a 1990 300CE which I will never sell. The Mercedes coupes from the 60’s to early 90’s are perfectly designed, never out of style

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

Beautiful car belonging to a great man. I don't think I deserve something that special.

[@Duschbag]

I KNOW I don't either.

[@justinkavanagh444]

Yes please.

THE MUSIC ISN'T LOUD ENOUGH, WE CAN STILL HEAR THE VOICE OVER.

[@playtimehulot7383]

The pathetic words are like music too. 🙄

[@alisonsmythe1287]

A beautiful car - but I bet whoever ends up buying it will not describe himself as a humble man ...

[@playtimehulot7383]

Oh No! . The new owner would do. But the persons who know him well will certainly not. ;-)

Luckily in this advertising spot is no religious exaggeration!

Che, quien relata, Juampi Cafiero? 😂

Would be a VERY appropriate parting gift to Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes for whenever he does hang up his helmet and gloves.

[@fedechizo]

If they give it to him, maybe Lewis will criticize the handling or something like that, like he did with the Pagani Zonda he had ;)

[@michaelcurtin3352]

I would be very happy to see the Magnificent Vehicle given to Michael Schumacher !!!
