    Does anyone know anything about this version of the 300-SL?

    i think this is a pre-production version or maybe a test mule for the company.

    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.
