1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Inside Jay Leno’s Garage

1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing owned by Jay Leno

Jay Leno recently picked up this 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL which he is in the process of restoration. 1955 was the first year they put the road car into production which ended up with a very limited production with 1,400 built in the world. I have been following this build closely since I personally own a 60's Mercedes and just love the styling and drivability of a classic Mercedes. Interesting fact is that Jay Leno worked for a Mercedes dealership back in college. Jay Leno is third owner of this gullwing that was found in a container out in the California desert.

Nigo from BAPE Clothing’s Custom 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

Nigo from BAPE - 300SL Mercedes Gullwing

Nigo is the founder of BAPE and helps produce Billionaire Boys Club / Ice Cream with Pharrell Williams. The car started as a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL and was vinyl wrapped in the BAPE camouflage. I love the red interior which I would guess is an original interior but no telling what this car has gone through before Nigo got a hold of it.
