Description
CMC Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé, 1955
The so-called “Uhlenhaut Coupé” is one of the icons of Mercedes-Benz brand history. Only two examples were built, officially as racing prototypes. The technology of the open-top 300 SLR racing sports car was concealed beneath the elegant bodywork; the coupé was to be used in racing as a closed version. As Mercedes-Benz ended its involvement in motorsport after the 1955 season, it was no longer used.
