A rare Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports car was sold for $6.825 million at an auction organized by RM Sotheby’s.

The car is one of the group that was produced in the fifties of the last century and includes only 24 cars consisting of two doors in the style of gull wing doors that open upwards, and according to the “foxbusiness” website, this car has a special significance, as it retains its original 3-liter engine, and a “Inline 6”.

The car was manufactured in 1955 and its body consists of aluminum in order to reduce its weight when used in races, while its price when it was put up for sale more than 65 years ago was equivalent to 28 thousand dollars today.

Although the car’s sale price at auction is lower than pre-sale estimates at a level ranging between $7 million and $9 million, it is among the highest in the Mercedes-Benz class ever sold.
