Looks more like an SLR prototype maybe...
I have a picture but nothing more...
hope it helps
i think this is a pre-production version or maybe a test mule for the company.
It's new to me?
I think this version was a pre-production model. The 300SL was already used in '52 or '53 in the Carrera Panamericana, entered by Pratt Motors team. That version differed from the generally known 300 SL Gullwing.
ya maybe a test model or a model where very few were made you never know
That one looks like a competition model to me
I got a cool pic of a "gull wing" and the new SLR on my website from the Vintage Auto at Lime Rock Park in CT. Check em out. [URL=http://www.lapleader.net/Photo.html]Photos[/URL]
