Daily Driver Gullwing

Hmm..yet another 300SL, only this is a repro.

So I suppose you wouldn't have to worry about creasing the fenders.

It ain't authentic, but doesn't look too bad to my eye. What do you guys think?

I can't even figure out if it's street legal. The VIN is kooky: GW1102.

For sale at BC Benjamin of Long Island. Has anyone had experience with them? They have Bentleys too

Re: Daily Driver Gullwing

Not bad for a repro. How do they get around trademark infringement issues?

Good question Roch. Looks good Marsden, but it's nothing like having the real deal in the garage.

RE: Daily Driver Gullwing

We should take up a collection in support of S500's W126.

I, for one, would be very sad to see it go.

My favorite color and all...

I will do my best not let it go. I love my W126. One of the rarest color combo's. Burgundy/Burgundy. Special ordered as well. The only thing is that I have to keep repairing things. In the last couple of months, I have had to do brakes, gearbox, exhaust, and now it has transmission problems. I hope it doesn't get worse.

Re: Daily Driver Gullwing

I did a quick search and could not find a website for Gullwing International. I did find a current business listing. Wonder if they still make them.

BDT - Are you back in the states, or you still in the fatherland?

RE: Daily Driver Gullwing

Oh crap though... the P3 link doesn't appear to return good results for me.

Anyone else?

It comes up as the RSS link I think. Anything related to the Gullwing on P3.

Re: Daily Driver Gullwing

This model has a Chevy engine under the hood and the dimensions are off quite a bit. Fun car however. They were at the Amelia Island car show. The price was 125,000.
