This 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is chassis 198.040.6500165 and one of
308 Gullwing coupes produced in 1956. The car is finished in its
factory color combination of Graphite Gray (code DB190) over a
Light Gray (DB955) leather interior. It retains its original
fuel-injected 3.0L inline-six (No. 6500153), which is freshly
rebuilt and has seen only break-in miles added since the beginning
of this year. The car was originally ordered by George Sterner of
York, Pennsylvania through Max Hoffman, and the complete ownership
chain is known. The car has an all new leather interior, all new
brake system, and has been extensively detailed and sorted. The
steering wheel is a factory-option Nardi, and new belly pans from
MB Classic were also recently fitted. The car has a powerful
presence in one of the more understated original color
combinations, and it is ready to start on the key and drive right
away. We are excited to list our own 300SL as the very first car on
the BaT Premium page, at no reserve and with the same $5,000 capped
buyer fee as always on BaT. This listing is live now, and only for
7 days, so take a look at the current bidding and live discussion
