    Im searching for a 300SL, I prefer a perfect original or a fully restored car, no drivers or cars with needs, if anyone has a lead please let me know, I have a serious interest.

    Thanks

    i just took a road test of the new gullwing sls.
    the car drove fine on smooth roads.
    on rough roads, however, the ride was too harsh.
    i could feel every pot hole and expansion joint.
    i would not recommend the 2012 version of this car as a dd!

    Alex Finigan at Paul Russell and Company in Essex, MA, is the man. I think they know the whereabouts, provenance and condition of every 300SL made.

    MB has a dedicated 'classic center' in CA that might have your type of gullwing in their network. Prices seem to have really jumped as of late. Their phone is: 1-866-622-5277.

    CHP - love that 'peek-a-boo' car carrier for the Kienle F1 car!

    There are various German Mercedes forums. To be honest I`m not very familiar with them, but here are some links nevertheless:

    http://www.mercedes-forum.com/

    http://www.db-forum.de/forum/

    http://www.129sl-forum.de/

    Write in English, they`ll understand you. I`m sure they can tell you if there is anything like a Gullwing club, forum or association.


    Another German sportscar forum, which is not brand specific, is:

    www.carpassion.com

    You may try this as well for request purposes.


    And finally a nice Gullwing photo during Ennstal Classic Rally:
