1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe
For many enthusiasts, the collector car hobby is all about the drive! A wide open road, a thunderous high-revving engine, large Weber carburetors, a rich leather interior and a race-proven four- or five-speed manual gearbox. This is grand touring in the true continental tradition. We salute these drivers in our upcoming Arizona auction with a selection of the finest GT cars, be it an elegant Aston Martin or a fiery Ferrari.
The British approach is exemplified by the Astons, a DB4 Series II Coupe and a superb DB4 Series IV Vantage. Italian style and V-12 power are equally well represented by a Lamborghini 400GT Coupe, a Ferrari 330 GTC and of course the Ferrari 500 Superfast. Lest we forget about the Germans, we have two of the finest Gullwings on offer, including the stunning graphite grey example pictured above, complete with Rudge wheels. As a reminder, the entire auction catalog is available for viewing online. [RM Auctions]
