The entry
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.
The 1954 Gullwing's upward-opening doors were a consequence of its high-sided tubular spaceframe chassis, paired with a fuel-injected 3.0-litre straight-six developed from Mercedes-Benz's racing programme.
The Roadster that followed from 1957 used conventional doors and a revised low-pivot rear suspension, remaining in production until 1963.
Cars in this category, Fuel-injected 1950s sports car, tend to draw interest for the engineering story behind them as much as the name on the badge. We review your Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on those terms, its own history and condition, not against a generic pricing model.
If you're selling a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, send the details and a specialist reviews it personally.
