LONDON.- An exceptional selection of collector cars, led by a highly desirable 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, will be offered at RM Sothebys Munich Auction on 20 November 2026.
At the heart of Germanys collector car market, RM Sothebys Munich Auction returns to Motorworld for its fifth year, further establishing its position on the European auction calendar. Renowned for exceptional individual automobiles and significant single-owner collections, this years sale brings together some of the finest examples of German engineering alongside coveted marques from around the world.
Leading the sale is a 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster. Representing the final and most developed iteration of the legendary model, this late-production example boasts a particularly desirable specification, including four-wheel disc brakes and the lightweight alloy engine. It retains its original White Grey finish, complemented by a red leather interior. Chassis number 003248 is among the final 300 SL Roadsters built and one of just 26 completed in 1963, the models final year of production. Combining its sought-after specification, late-production status and authentic presentation, it represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors.
Seven significant Maseratis from the marques golden era are brought together in The Tridente Collection.

Munich has long been known for attracting some of the most meticulously maintained German automobiles. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have traditionally been at the heart of the sale, and this year is no exception, with a frankly fabulous selection from all three marques, said Marcus Görig, Munich Car Specialist. But I am also super impressed with the broader offering, including American, British and Italian classic sports cars and even the odd Japanese hot hatch.
As befits an auction in the heart of Bavaria, BMW is particularly well represented. Highlights include a 1939 328 Roadster, the companys finest pre-war sports car, a Spa-winning Group A 635CSi, an iconic 3.0 CSL Batmobile and two examples of the mid-engined M1. One is a standard road car, while the other is a one-of-10 AHG-modified example, bringing the spirit of BMWs Procar racing programme to the road.
