A custom Mercedes-Benz 300 SL with matelassé-like seats.
In the '50s, a legend with its origins in motor racing was born.
Now, it’s time for Mercedes-Benz 300 SL to be part of high-end collections & be customized by car builders.

Why not? After all, this is a chance for enthusiasts to turn timeless wheels on a vehicle even more exclusive.
300 SL, the first vehicle in the world to bear the Super Light designation, featured special strokes of engineering and design genius.

Visionary, the top-hinged doors that swung upwards & matelassé-like leather interiors in bright blue played a part on impressive looks to match its high performance.
