1956 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing Coupe For Sale

Sonoma Classic Motorcars and our new world-wide brokerage Riviera MotorSports located in Cascais Portugal is proud to present the 1956 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing. The image posed in the advert is for representation purpose only. Images and supporting documents will be provided upon request.
   In most cases, a road car comes first and a racing version follows. But for the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, the radical-gull-wing 2 door coupe that hit the market in 1954 was directly derived from the sports racing car that won the Carrera Panamericana and the 24 hours of LeMans in 1952.
  The road car that followed retained the racing version’s, strong tubular frame with high sills—necessitating the gull wing doors—and featured fully-independent suspension and a fuel-injected version of Mercedes-Benz’s 2, 995cc single-overhead camshaft engine. The straight-six was rated at 215 bhp and would propel the car to speeds upwards of 160mph, making it one of the fastest production car in the world upon introduction. The only transmission available was a four-speed manual and powerful drum brakes were fitted at each corner. Significant options included a more highly-tuned engine, Rudge knock-off wheels and fitted luggage. The most coveted of all the production 300SLs are the 29 aluminum coupes. Fast, beautiful and very expensive at nearly $9, 000, only 1, 400 of the exclusive coupes were built between 1954 and 1957. The Gullwing coupe, however, endures as one of the most iconic postwar automobiles, and is a bellwether of automotive design.
