When looking back at the designs and iconic models that have defined the global automotive industry, names like the Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Miura often come to mind. However, there is another model that deserves legendary status, and that is the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.
With its famous Gullwing doors and coupe styling, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is one of the most sought-after cars in the world. This has led collectors to be willing to pay exorbitant amounts just to own a legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL has found a new owner with a price tag of up to 1.9 million USD, equivalent to 42.8 billion VND, and this article is no exception.
What makes this car special is that it was sold in a private deal rather than an auction. This Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing has only traveled a total of 45,687 miles (73,526 km).
When it comes to the new owner, the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL still has original accessories such as underbody panels, repair tools, owner manuals, and an optional Nardi steering wheel. It also has a 4-speed transmission. It can be said that this is one of the most intact and beautiful Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on the market.
Explaining the record-breaking price for the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, Mr. Joseph Carroll, Chairman of RK Collection, believes that the reason lies in the original condition and “flawless” mechanical parts of the car. He also considers this to be the highest-value transaction in the past 3 years for a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gulwing. This car has set a new record price for the collector car market.
