The car was found in Santa Monica garage Tom Wilmers. The American was the only owner of the unusual Mercedes-Benz. For 40 years the car was untouched for one simple reason: in the 70's she failed transmission, and Welmers, instead of having to tow the car to the service simply chose not to ride it. It should be noted that the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing of Welmers is a truly unique car: such machines was released only three years, from 1955 to 1957-th, and with very modest print runs. So, in 1955 was born 29 экземпляровMercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. In addition, the value of the machine collectors increases and the fact that it is in its history was owned by a single owner. However, report that Tom Wilmers already sold his Mercedes for $ 2.5 million. The buyer's name is kept secret, however, is known about one condition specified in the sale as required: the new owner must restore the car, bringing it in perfect condition.
