Exceptionally Rare Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Recreation with AMG Power and Original Fixtures
Presented here is an extraordinary recreation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, believed to be the work of renowned builder Tony Ostermeier—whose recreations are widely regarded as the most accurate and desirable tributes to the original. Gullwing recreations of this calibre, especially those fitted with original 300SL body and interior components, are vanishingly rare and seldom come to market.
Acquired from Germany in 2020 alongside a matching 300SL Roadster recreation, This example has since been UK-registered and is offered as a fully road-legal, turn-key classic recreation with modern performance credentials.
This particular build is based on a high-quality donor chassis and is powered by a Mercedes-Benz 3. 2-litre AMG V6 engine, delivering impressive performance and drivability. Unlike many recreations, this example features genuine Mercedes-Benz 300SL exterior and interior fittings—including the elegant curved glass, built to exacting original proportions. The result is a car that not only looks the part but feels incredibly authentic in its presence and execution.
The period-style dashboard is adorned with original-style gauges, chrome switchgear, and leather-trimmed detailing, creating a cockpit that’s as stunning as it is functional. The beautifully simple steering wheel, correct seating design, and overall layout complete an interior that captures the essence of the 1950s original.
On the road, the 3. 2 AMG engine offers refined yet responsive power, making it an ideal grand tourer. Mated with a smooth automatic transmission, it combines modern reliability with retro charm—offering the best of both worlds.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a Gullwing recreation of outstanding quality—believed to be from one of the most respected names in the field, and featuring genuine 300SL fixtures inside and out. A remarkable tribute to one of the most celebrated cars of the 20th century, and one that offers breathtaking aesthetics paired with modern performance.
