The real car began life as a prototype for the German motor giant’s works racing team, taking part in international races, and in 1954 a production version debuted at the International Motor Show in New York. Despite nominal road car status, the 300SL was still a very racy vehicle and proved popular, particularly in the United States. It possessed a 3-liter engine (hence the 300 in its name), and a highly lightweight body (SL stands for Sport Leicht, lit. “light sports”) with striking gull wing doors. 1,400 cars were produced by the end of its production run in May 1957.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tamiya model kit captures the real-life subject down to the working Gull-Wing doors and complex tubular space frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/24 Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes opening engine hood and gull wing doors.
