About the artwork

This Mercedes 300 SL achieved extraordinary success in motorsport, and one of the most outstanding drivers to achieve fame with this model was the British racing driver Stirling Moss. In 1955, Moss drove the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in the Mille Miglia, one of the most prestigious endurance races in the world. Together with his co-driver Denis Jenkinson, he achieved a sensational overall victory.

This gullwing is one of the four racing cars created by the sports department at the Untertürkheim plant and exhibited at Rétromobile 2025.
And it was the 1st of 4 factory racing cars, of which presumably only two vehicles are still known.

Drive: SOHC in-line six-cylinder engine, 2996 cc, 240 hp, Bosch fuel injection system, four-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive
