1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing "The Last One"

amfAR x RM Sotheby's

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is widely regarded as the most iconic and recognizable car ever made; the Last Gullwing offers a singular, storied opportunity for a collector to own the very last example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most coveted models ever produced
The Last Gullwing, as designated by its chassis number and delivery date
A special-order Standwagen of outstanding significance, displayed by Mercedes-Benz during June 1957 at the Poznan International Trade Fair
Presented in its factory-correct color combination of Fire Engine Red (DB 534) over Crème leather (1060) and retains its numbers-matching chassis, engine, body, gearbox, and front kingpins
An extremely coveted prize treasured by a short chain of just four recorded owners since new; offered today after more than 25 years with its latest owner
Awarded 3rd in Class in the inaugural, ultra-competitive 300 SL class at the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Accompanied by a copy of its factory data card, historic imagery, matching luggage, and a full set of belly pans
An opportunity transcending mere ownership—much like the final game-worn jersey, the last home run ball, or the final work by Picasso, “The Last Gullwing” represents the ultimate in collecting; to possess the “last” of anything that defined an era is to hold a piece of history itself
