Mercedes-Benz 300SL (W198) History

In terms of style, aesthetic, elegance, quality, and performance the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, tipo W198, is arguably the greatest race-based production car of the 20th century. The "Gullwing" earned its nickname from the unusual doors Mercedes-Benz used on both the racing and production versions of this car. Based on the racing models the 300SL has a tubular-steel frame that weighs just 120lbs. The frame was modified for the Roadster to accommodate the conventional doors. Driving this car is a nostalgic experience, until of course you let her go and experience the raw, beautiful power Mercedes-Benz engineered for the race track.

Our restorations have achieved the highest acclaim and earned the highest prices on the market, both at auction and in private sales.

  • Combined production totalled 3,258
    • 1,400 coupes from 1954-1957
    • 1,858 roadsters - including two alloy competition models from 1957-1964
