Model History:
Mercedes-Benz presented the 300 SL in February 1954 at the International Motor Sports Show in New York. It was the fastest sports car of its time.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing” is regarded worldwide as a design and technical icon of the post-war era and remains one of the most prestigious models among automobile collectors. Between 1954 and 1957, only 1,400 units were produced.
About the car:
The vehicle offered here was originally delivered in 1957 to Ramfis Leónidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. He was a racing driver, playboy, politician, and son of the then Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo. In 2009, the 300 SL returned from the USA to Germany, where it underwent an extensive, well-documented full restoration by renowned brand specialists, including photos and invoices. The subsequent ownership history is well known.
The 300 SL impresses with its exceptionally high originality and unique colour scheme. According to the available data card, the engine, transmission, rear axle, steering, differential, and front axle correspond to the original delivery specifications. A unique opportunity to acquire a vehicle with exceptional provenance, first-class restoration, and impeccable authenticity.
