1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is a used car showing 105,914 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Dark grey with a Light grey interior.

For many years this Gullwing was the personal car of a knowledgeable enthusiast in Brisbane, Australia. Before that it was part of a Californian collection whose owner kept several 300 SLs at once, so it has spent long periods in the same hands rather than changing owners often.

TÜV and FSP have examined it with X-rays and material analysis, and their documented report confirms an authentic car with matching numbers and correct details. The dealer rates its condition as very good and points to the understated pairing of dark grey paint and a light grey interior, which leaves the shape of the body to speak for itself.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing uses the 2,996 cc M198 straight-six, tilted 45 degrees, with Bosch mechanical direct injection and dry-sump lubrication, rated at 215 PS (158 kW) at 5,800 rpm with the sports camshaft and 275 Nm, up to 235 km/h on the 3.64 axle, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, with five axle ratios offered.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing in the European market

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

105,914 km recorded, against a median of 14,618 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Mercedes-Benz market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 300 SL Gullwing, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
