When you were young, you had a favorite stuffed animal. You loved it so much, you didn’t care if it was missing an eye, had stuffing falling out of its popped stitches, or if had more stains than a bib at a spaghetti buffet.-Benz 300SL Gullwing was somebody’s favorite animal. Originally finished in resplendent DB 50 white paint over red leather interior, the first owner of this W198 is believed to be Hollywood assistant director Roger M. Andrews.
In 2018, the vehicle was brought back to life by its third owner by getting the engine started and beginning to strip away the red paint, leading to the current condition and charming mismatched wheels.Ultra-Rare Alloy Mercedes 300SL Auctioned for $6.8M, Makes $1.7M Steel Gullwing Look Almost Affordable
