Behold: the 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, legendary street-legal version of the equally legendary W194 race car – sleek and aerodynamic, with a direct injection system borrowed from WW2 fighter plane engines.
This particular model, fully restored in the early 1990s, has been part of the Wiesenthal Mercedes Collection in Vienna since leaving its original American owner in 1979.
Yours for €1.2 million+.
The legendary Mercedes 240bhp 300 SL Gullwing – the supercar of the 1950s, capable of an at-the-time frankly gobsmacking 166mph. 1400 were produced between 1954 and 1957 and this pristine, fully restored late model roadster is presented in its original black on red colour scheme.
Yours for (at the very least) €1,052,232
A 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing – one of just 1400 made – all original, completely unrestored with just one owner and a mere 16,000 miles on the clock.
Yours for a cool million.
Not to be confused with this one.
A 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing – once the property of its sole owner, pilot and US Merchant Marine, Sig Noygren – it’s been in dry storage since 1976.
From the Fire Engine Red paint and red plaid upholstery, the car (with just 32,239 miles on the clock) remains in its original state aside from custom enhancements, including a chronometer, altimeter, and thermometer, as well as fog lights, an eight-track player, and a defroster fan.
Yours for around $1,000,000.
