Chassis:
The 20th of the 29 Alloy 'Gullwings' built, this example was ordered by a Swiss industrialist, who picked the car himself and drove it home in October of 1955. By the 1960s, the 300 SL resurfaced in the United States. It remained here for over two decades passing through the hands of several noted collectors. In 1989 chassis 5500786 was back in Europe after it was acquired by Swedish collector Hans Thulin. He had the car meticulously restored by Kienle Automobiltechnik. It was soon after sold to a German collector and more recently it returned to Swiss hands. On October 31st it will be offered by RM Auctions in their London sale. The estimate is available on request but it should be one of the acution's top sellers.
