Ultra-rare 300 SL feels like limited-edition craft heaven
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is one of the world's rarest dream cars. Between 1954 and 1957, just 1,400 units were built of the famous spec, and the amazing 300SL Alloy Gullwing is one of only 29 produced with the aluminum body. All 29 which have survived to this day are very seldom offered for sale.

Derived for sport, this aluminum Gullwing did not see competitive use and is probably the prettiest production car ever, made perfect by the best in the business. Completed on April 20, 1955, this car was appropriately finished in metallic silver gray over a leather interior — known to be high-quality and upscale, which will create an elegant interior setting that stands out.
Besides that, as a classic that remains modern, there's no better option than a high-quality material that never goes out of style and allows the vehicle to gain value with its premium quality. It's a symbol that has a luxurious appearance and stands out from the crowd.
