Don’t want just any Mercedes-Benz 300 SL? How about one that retains its numbers-matching engine, gearbox and alloy body–plus comes equipped with desirable factory competition-specification parts like a sports suspension, 3.25:1 rear axle, Rudge wheels and Alfred Baisch racing harnesses?
The seller notes that the Mercedes-Benz participated in the Mille Miglia Storica and the Colorado Grand vintage tours, as well as concours events at Amelia Island, Radnor Hunt and Hilton Head Island.
In 2017, Gullwing specialist Robert Platz completed a comprehensive restoration of the car. Today, the Gullwing comes with a restored Karl Baisch luggage set, factory build sheet, owner’s manual, German TÜV inspection papers and more.
Find this 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL available through RM Sotheby’s. Hagerty currently values examples in No. 2 condition at $6.7 million.
