1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing For Sale - Beautiful Restoration By Marque Expert, Listed In 300SL Reg LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing The Mercedes-Benz 300SL “Gullwing,” produced from 1954 to 1957, is widely regarded as the world’s first true supercar. Born from racing success, it featured a lightweight tubular frame and innovative Bosch mechanical fuel injection, giving its 3.0-liter inline-six up to 240 horsepower—exceptional for the era. Its most iconic feature, the upward-hinged gullwing doors, was a necessity of its frame design and became an enduring symbol of automotive style. With a top speed of 160 mph, the 300SL was the fastest production car of its day, blending advanced engineering with timeless elegance. Today, it remains one of the most coveted and collectible cars in the world. This 300 SL Gullwing was originally ordered through Mercedes-Benz distributors in New York City and its earliest recorded owner in the Gull Wing Group Registry was Theodore Soltis of Wilmington, Delaware. Under previous ownership, the 300 SL was cosmetically restored by a marque specialist, finished in elegant Silver Gray (DB 180) with a pigskin-grain brown leather interior—a color combination famously featured in Ralph Lauren’s collection. Mechanical servicing has been performed as needed, with supporting invoices included in the history file. Importantly, the car retains its numbers-matching chassis and engine, as confirmed by the data card, along with its matching body and front and rear axles. Today, it is equipped with reproduction Rudge wheels, fitted luggage, and belly pans—three of the most desirable and coveted options for the model. This superbly presented 300 SL remains an ideally specified example of the car widely regarded as the progenitor of the modern supercar. Additional Details: 1955 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SL GULLWING -

Legendary Motorcar soon began producing national show winning restorations and record sales. After three short years our facility had grown to 4000 sq. ft. and restorations and sales began to include all makes and models of muscle cars, always staying true to our goal of producing the best. By 1990 we expanded to 12,000 sq ft, and began selling European marques, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche and of course we continued to sell some of the rarest domestic models.

The new Halton Hills location includes: 100 car showroom, fully equipped mechanical and assembly bays, downdraft spray booth and body shop, plus a conference center and is of course the location for the television series “Legendary Motorcar” on Discovery’s Velocity Channel.
