to quote...From RM Classic's Vintage Motor Cars at Amelia Island auction,
March 11, 200. Keith Martin, editor and publisher of "Sports Car Market"
magazine...
"1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. S/N 6500114. Red over black leather.
Optional and highly desirable Rudge knockoff wheels. Straight car with recent
repaint. Original interior showing signs of wear but still presentable.
Concours-quality engine compartment. SOLD AT $189,200. Perfect Gullwings have
been bringing up to $250,000 as the collector-car market continues to gather
steam. This was a relative bargain."
