Finds of rare cars with the three-pointed star on the bonnet literally walk the planet. It seems that the discovery of rare Mercedes garages are starting to become a trend. Recently we heard about a story that happened in Santa Monica, where Mercedes-Benz 300SL stood intact for forty years. However, nobody could have imagined that on the other end of the world this is a car that you find "fellow". We are talking about Mercedes-Benz 300SL, found in Greece. The car with the original hard top belonged to a citizen of Greece Kritanu Dilaveris, who purchased it several years after the appearance of models on the market. Dilaveris died in 1972 and did not have time to write a will. As a result, the car was transferred to the possession of the city of Piraeus, in whose garage and he stood since 1974 , and several times the car was saved from recycling literally a miracle. As a result the authorities of Piraeus decided to put a unique Mercedes-Benz 300SL for auction. The starting price of rarity was identified in 240 000 euros. Won the auction German collector Ryan Hildebrandt, who offered 405 00 Euro. The car will take its place in the garage of the new owner between other versions of Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "gull wing" Gullwing and Roadster with a soft top. Hildebrandt has already promised to bring a car with mileage 97 172 km in condition and said that special efforts will not make it.
