This two-piece luggage set was produced in 1991 for use with a 1957–1963 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster. The hard-sided cases are trimmed in gray leather and feature American made stainless steel hardware, locking clasps, hinges, and gray/blue/yellow tartan interior with elastic pockets and elastic retaining straps. This 300SL Roadster two-piece reproduction luggage set is now offered by the seller out of Tualatin, Oregon with two keys and retaining belts.
Both cases were produced in 1991 as reproduction pieces for the W198 Roadster. Both pieces are finished in gray leather and feature thick-cut leather handles along with stainless steel American made locking clasps as well as four stainless steel hinges and eight stainless steel feet. The larger, more rectangular piece which sits at the bottom when packed in the car, is equipped with two locking latches near its handle. The top portion is recessed and angled along its hinged edge for fitment in the luggage compartment of a 300SL Roadster. The large suitcase measures approximately 34” x 22” x 11” on the outside. A couple of knicks in the leather are pictured in the gallery.
The interior of the larger case is finished with a gray/blue/yellow tartan liner and it is equipped with a pleated elastic pouch and three white colored elastic securing straps.
The smaller case features angled sides, a wide base, and a convex case cover with extra protective leather riveted around the edges. This is shaped to be a form fitting case that moulds into the curved 300SL Roadster luggage compartment. This case measures 34” x 17” x 9” and shows some additional knicks in the outer leather.
Matching gray/blue/yellow tartan cloth lines the interior of the smaller case, which is fitted with two white securing straps and a pleated elastic pouch. There are two locks and one stainless steel latch to open the case with four stainless steel feet and a thick-cut leather handle. The left most frontal latch shows very light corrosion under the stainless steel plating.
Each case features locking clasps, and two keys accompany the luggage. This 300SL Roadster two piece 1991 reproduction luggage set is now offered by the seller out of Tualatin, Oregon with two keys and retaining belts.
With original luggage fetching obscene money and also very hard to come across as solo pieces, reproduction luggage really is the only way to buy a set at a reasonable price. With 300SL rallies becoming increasingly more popular, shoving a modern duffel bag into the trunk or rear parcel shelf is a thing only uncivilized owners would do. To properly embrace period correct grand touring, one needs a chic fitted luggage set to pair with one of the most stylish cars of all time. This luggage set is trimmed in high quality gray leather with a classic tartan color scheme inside. While this set was made in 1991, it was obviously well cared for and stored properly as it looks nearly new, highlighting the quality of this two-piece luggage set.
