The photo book about the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL from the, perhaps, greatest and last real Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa.
The photo album is a documentation not only of the car’s history and the “life in the fast lane” lifestyle of its previous owner but also the extensive restoration.
THE reference literature on the subject of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. '
In this book the author, Hans Kleissl, presents special information, facts and, above all, pictures from the Daimler Benz work’s archive that no one has seen for a very long time. Produced in cooperation with Dr. Harry Niemann this is an outstanding book on 300 SL. Exciting and informative content from the history, technical development and marketing of the 300 SL to prominent 300 SL owners and spectacular restorations and including over 400 photographs and illustrations. Curious background stories make the book a pleasure to read - not only for fans of classic cars and fans of classic driving culture.
Using precise and expert craftsmanship, sometimes covering weeks the valuable car bodies of Mercedes-Benz cars are restored. Specialists from over 10 countries work on Kleissl Gullwing projects – only the best craftsmen are good enough to carry every step of the restoration Gullwing projects on the car from Stuttgart that has become a design icon.
In the Mercedes Gullwing world one name stands head and shoulders above the rest, Hans Kleissl. His company which was founded in 1984 stands for the care and maintenance of the 300 SL like no other. We visited him in the Pfaffenwinkel region of southern Upper Bavaria where in the Monastery grounds his company gives the Gullwings their wings, so to speak.
