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 interior was restored with new leather upholstery on the seats, dash, and side panels.
It is a lovely place to sit.
The dash needed a good cleaning, so it was removed and disassembled for polishing and cleaning.
The headliner, door upholstery, and visors are also new and matching.
The Nardi wood wheel works well with the color combination and features the pivoting collar for easier driver entry/exit.
