1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing – Originally Delivered in Rare Graphite Gray

This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing is a matching-numbers example originally delivered in the exceptionally rare and highly desirable color combination of Graphite Gray over blue leather with plaid seat inserts.

Currently finished in white with red interior, chassis 5500877 was acquired from a museum in Japan, where it had been on static display for several years.
