The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is one of the most important and coveted sports cars in automotive history. With its iconic bodywork, eponymous gullwing doors and innovative technology, it set new standards in the 1950s and is still regarded as a symbol of style, performance and engineering skill today.
History of the 300SL Gullwing
This Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing left the Sindelfingen plant on November 29, 1955 and was delivered to the Mercedes-Benz branch in Houston. The vehicle had two previous owners in the USA. It was imported to Germany in 2008 and has been in current ownership ever since. The current owner acquired the vehicle in 2009.
The vehicle was restored in the USA. With 95,315 miles on the clock, the rear axle was overhauled in 2011, followed by a complete engine overhaul in 2014 at 95,661 miles.
