We would love to have one of these wood-carved replicas.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, one of the most significant cars made by the automaker, is undoubtedly the most valuable. It is also one of the most beautiful cars in Mercedes-Benz’ history, as well as the world.
The sleek design of the 300 SL and its sporty, yet elegant design make it a pleasant two-seater. It’s also rare as less than a thousand were made. Fangio, a legendary racer, owned one the roadster versions. It was sold earlier this year.
YouTube’s woodworking art aims to recreate the Mercedes coupe in a wood-carved replica. According to the channel, it took time and careful work to finish every moving part and detail of the classic sports car.
This wood-carved replica of the 300 SL is a great choice. But what we love most is that the trunk and hood can be opened, while the gullwing doors work exactly like the original. These doors have latches that replicate the famous Mercedes coupe doors.
The Mercedes 300 SLR, which is the road-legal version of the 300 SL has been in the news recently. Sources claim that was the only 1956 Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut coupe ever produced. It was reportedly sold at an exclusive auction.
What is the price? The price? $142 million. This is twice the 2018 Ferrari 250 GTO sale price. It makes the 1956 Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut coupe, the most expensive ever sold.
