Few automobiles have achieved the legendary status of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. Introduced in 1954, its dramatic upward-opening doors, advanced fuel-injected inline-six, and competition-derived engineering established it as one of the defining sports cars of the twentieth century. While original Gullwings remain among the world's most coveted collector cars, their rarity and value place them beyond the reach of many enthusiasts.

Recognizing the enduring appeal of the iconic coupe, German craftsman Tony Ostermeier founded Gullwing Cars, producing meticulously engineered recreations that faithfully captured the style and spirit of the original while utilizing the proven mechanicals of contemporary Mercedes-Benz models. Rather than simply replicating the appearance, Ostermeier's cars were designed to be driven, combining classic Gullwing aesthetics with the reliability, comfort, and ease of maintenance afforded by modern engineering.

Offered here is chassis GW1036, completed in striking Fire Engine Red over a beautifully trimmed beige leather interior. Built upon the dependable Mercedes-Benz platform and powered by the fuel-injected M103 inline-six, the car is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and air conditioning making it exceptionally well suited to modern road use.

This single owner example was retained by a noted Japanese collector, who carefully preserved it since new in a climate-controlled collection, until its subsequent importation in 2025. Having covered just 678 kilometers since completion, it presents in outstanding condition throughout. Importantly, the car has recently undergone a comprehensive mechanical service to return it to roadworthy condition, allowing its next custodian to enjoy it with confidence while preserving its remarkably original character.

The cabin faithfully echoes the character of the original 300 SL while incorporating the refinement expected of a contemporary Mercedes-Benz. Beige leather upholstery complements the vivid exterior, and two fitted luggage cases are secured on the rear package shelf and adds an elegant finishing touch reminiscent of the grand touring accessories offered during the period.

Combining unmistakable Gullwing styling with proven Mercedes-Benz engineering, chassis GW1036 offers an ideal opportunity for the enthusiast seeking the experience and presence of one of Stuttgart's greatest icons without the compromises or expense associated with an original. Beautifully presented and scarcely used, it is equally at home on touring events, weekend drives, or as a distinctive addition to any Mercedes-Benz collection.
