Engine newly revised

Original colour was dark green metallic!

This beautiful and early Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing is one of the first 150 examples ever built.

It was supplied new to its first owner in Los Angeles in December 1954.

The original build sheet is available. The delivery colour scheme was the rare and gorgeous DB 274 light green poly with green fabric interior.

The following years, the car remained in the Los Angeles area with two more owners in Malibu and Glendale.

It was in 1985, when a first restoration took place. The car was repainted in red with tan leather interior back then.

In 1987, the 300 SL was sold to Germany.

The new owner here in Germany was a rallying enthusiast and successfully did the 1995 Mille Miglia with it.

About 5 years ago, the Gullwing was restored again. The car received a new paintjob and a gearbox and axles revision among other things.

In 2020 the matching numbers engine was completely revised by a 300 SL specialist near Frankfurt.

The Mercedes is accompanied by a FIA Pass and a very extensive experts report including material examinations of the chassis.

Today, it presents itself with period correct Rudge wheels, delete of bumpers (parts are available), Nardi steering wheel and the luggage set.
