Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is presented in Fire Engine Red with a black leather interior. It underwent a comprehensive mechanical restoration in 2009-2010 and a full repaint in 2012, with some wear noted on the seats and sills, and includes European specification lights, Rudge wheels, and a Becker Mexico radio.
Condition
7
While the car has been restored and repainted, there are notes of wear on the seats and sills. The advisories on the MOT test for an oil leak and minor windscreen damage also affect the rating. The extensive restoration and repaint contribute to a higher rating, but the noted wear and advisories prevent it from being rated higher.
