A Toronto family purchased this spectacular Gullwing in 1957 and
they owned it until 2006. In 2007, the second owner commissioned RM
in Canada to do a frame off restoration of the great SL. This car
was the perfect candidate for a restoration as it was always
maintained, it had no collision damage and very little corrosion.
They attended to all details and we have extensive photo history of
the restoration on file. During it's re-birth, the SL's color
combination was changed from its original red to black with red
leather. An extremely sporty look and regal too...befitting a
Gullwing. The car is now outfitted with belly pans, "Rudge-style"
wheels and fitted black luggage. The 3rd owner debuted the restored
SL at the 2012 San Marino Concours and it took Best in Class
honors. Now, this 4 owner restored Gullwing shows just over 57,000
miles, barely used a few hundred miles in the past decade. This
iconic Mercedes-Benz deserves a new owner that will enjoy this car
as it was designed...it is ready for you.
