Set: 300 SL, W194/SL‑Class, R 231

Product Description

Immediately after 1945 the company had neither the means nor the capacity to build a Formula 1 race car, particularly in view of the fact that changes to the formula were imminent. The decision-makers in Stuttgart therefore chose to build on what the company already had and develop a sports car. One component at their disposal in 1952 was the engine from the 300 model, which later became known as the "Adenauer car". Appropriately modified and fitted in the newly developed space frame, it now also powered the 300 SL. The car featured either a closed body with gullwing doors or a roadster body.

Set: 300 SL, silver. Diecast metal. Scale 1:43. Genuine paintwork colours. Accurate reproduction. High-quality printed interior. In Mercedes‑Benz gift box. By Norev for Mercedes‑Benz.
