This Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is an ultimate "barn find". Forgotten for over 5 decades, it was discovered at the end of last year and acquired by Mercedes-Benz Classic. According to the official press release "it was originally shipped to Miami in 1954 and was only registered for ten years. The vehicle is completely original. The body, for example, the glass components, the grey leather interior, the drivetrain, the wheels — even the "Englebert Competition" tyres are all as you would have found them on the car decades ago. The only modification was to the body finish. Originally painted mid blue, the coupé was at some point sanded down and primed. What most likely happened was that the vehicle was taken out of service in the mid-1960s to be repainted and had been prepped, but never actually repainted.". Do you think it should be restored or remain in this, rather distinctive, condition?
