We like to keep a watching eye on the items for sale at the Classic Throttle Shop in Sydney. Today’s news brings word of a genuine classic up for sale—a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing in Fire Red paint with only 23,075 miles on the clock. It’s simply beautiful.
The ad reads in part:
This stunning 300 SL was built in 1955 and was fully restored in America in the early nineties. This was a nut and bolt back to bare chassis with body off restoration and when it was finished it was shown at several national Concourse events where it duly won them hands down.
The car has been in Australia in a large collection for several years now and has had little use other than maintenance and short runs.
We bow down in the presence of such beauty and wish we had the money to buy an icon like this.
