Mercedes introduced their first unitary bodied car as the 180 in 1953. The following year the company revealed the 190SL with Plexiglas screen and lightweight doors. Not produced until March 1955 the production cars had bodywork akin to the 300SL and was powered by a 4-cylinder sohc engine of 1897cc. Production lasted until February 1963. Using racing techniques of µadding lightness' the 300SL was built around a complex tubular chassis that made conventional doors impossible. Thus the Gullwing was born in 1952 as a pure sports/racing car. The production version gained weight with road going features and a slightly redesigned body. Bosch fuel injection helped to get the extra power needed. 1400 coupes were built before being replaced by the roadster in 1957. This is a book of contemporary road tests, technical data, racing, restoration.
