MERCEDES-BENZ 300SL COUPE

2-seater coupè.

The famed Gullwing, with inclined, dry-sump fuel-injection engine in a tubular spaceframe. Handling strictly for advanced motorists, maintenance nightmarish, and restoring costs mind-boggling. Floor change instead of the S's column shift, 140mph, and 0-60mph in less than 9secs; lhd only.
