Selling a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

 

Launched in 1954 as a spin-off of the original 1952 Mercedes 300SL racecar, the Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing is perhaps one of the most iconic classics to come from the European automotive market in the mid-1950s. While most automotive manufacturers begin with the production car and follow that development with a racecar, the Gullwing was unique. It would keep the racing version’s strong tubular frame and high sills, and would offer a fully independent suspension and fuel-injected version of Mercedes’ 2,995cc single-overhead camshaft engine. Drum brakes were fitted at each corner and a four-speed manual transmission gave drivers a truly authentic racing feel. The 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing (like other Gullwing models) would have a top speed in excess of 160mph, and was one of the fastest production cars in the world when it debuted. If you’re thinking about selling a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, examples that offer some of the additional factory options often command values higher than others. The optional engine upgrade, Rudge knock-off wheels and fitted luggage are a few examples. Additionally, having one of the original 29 models to be produced in aluminum will increase value.
