Description:
The 300 SL gullwing celebrated its premiere at the “International Motor Sports Show” in New York, which took place from 6 to 14 February 1954. Mercedes-Benz experienced an enormously positive visitor response to the 300 SL at the Motor Show, so series production began in August 1954 at the Sindelfingen plant. The 300 SL Roadster replaced the Gullwing in 1957.
According to the data card, the vehicle was delivered on 14 November 1958 via Mercedes AGAM Amsterdam in Holland. The current owner acquired the vehicle about 25 years ago. In the following years, a “full-off” restoration was carried out by the company Kienle Automobiltechnik GmbH. The stamped engine number corresponds to the delivery (“Matching-Number“). German registration papers and a detailed photo documentation of the restoration are available.
A good opportunity to acquire a beautiful and fully restored 300 SL Roadster in an attractive colour combination with first-class driving characteristics.
Just 1,858 examples of the Mercedes 300 SL Roadster were produced between 1957 and 1963.
