Hey guys, we just took on consignment this amazing and rare piece of automotive history. I know this has nothing to do with Porsche but I thought everyone might see it as interesting and I know that there are collectors of other cars besides Porsche in this community as well.

1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe

44,694 Original Miles

$1,900,000 Or Best Offer

This is one of the 855 cars produced in 1955 and one of a total of 1,400 produced from 1955 to 1957.

General information about the car can be found here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_300_SL

The car underwent a full body re spray in 2006 and other than that is a fully original car.
We have about 11 boxes of all original parts, owners manuals, service manuals and the car comes complete with it's original luggage, Rudge knock off wheels as well as the original MB Gullwing wheels.

The parts list consists of:

5x Original Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing Wheels
4x Original Mercedes Benz Hubcaps
Original Lug Nuts
Original Hubcap Removal / Lug Nut Wrench
4x Replacement Drum Brakes
Left Rear / Right Rear Replacement Axle

This car has been well documented and cared for from three owners and has zero accidents or stories.

If any of you know anyone in your circles that would be interested in adding this to their collection I would appreciate any referrals.

Please feel free to PM, call, text or email with any inquiries..

Wonderful car. Not sure why the owner wouldn't just put this in an auction. Someone will pay gobs of money for it.
