When reflecting on the designs and iconic models that have shaped the global automotive industry, it’s hard to overlook names like the Porsche 911 and Lamborghini Miura. However, there is another model that deserves its place in the hall of legends: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.
With its iconic Gullwing doors and sleek coupe styling, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL stands as one of the most coveted cars in the world. Collectors are willing to pay astronomical sums to own this legendary automobile.
A recent sale of a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL saw a price tag of 1.9 million USD, equivalent to 42.8 billion VND, reaffirming its status as a highly sought-after classic car.
What sets this car apart is that it was sold privately rather than through an auction. This particular Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing has only covered 45,687 miles (73,526 km) throughout its lifetime.
As for the lucky new owner, this 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL still retains its original accessories, including underbody panels, repair tools, owner manuals, and an optional Nardi steering wheel. It also boasts a 4-speed transmission. Undeniably, this is one of the most pristine and exquisite Mercedes-Benz 300 SL models on the market.
Explaining the record-breaking price tag attached to this 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, Mr. Joseph Carroll, Chairman of RK Collection, emphasizes the car’s original condition and flawless mechanical parts. He declares this transaction as the most valuable one for a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing in the past three years. Undoubtedly, this sale has set a new benchmark in the collector car market.
