Million Dollars worth 300SL Gullwing in Pakistan.
️Back in the days, There were two Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing in Pakistan (KAA-5133 & KAF-5711) and sadly both exported out many many years ago.
Some say that there was only one Gullwing in Pakistan but same car registered twice? that simple doesn't make any sense.
Back in the mid 50's till mid or late 60's. The owners really loved it having the Gullwing. We've heard many stories that first it came to Karachi then went to Lahore, Quetta and Murree. Poor Gullwing had two major accidents, caught fire and was partially damaged the firewall and dash area. One changed colors a few times; White, Silver and Red.
It clearly sounds like that no one knew that one day it's gonna be worth millions of dollar.. Infact, can you believe that back in 1955 the owner sold it for Rs. 45,000?
Later, both exported out of the country. Heard one went to New York & other sold to a museum in Stuttgart (City in Germany) and it's still there.
The Ex-Owners: Philippine Ambassador Soto, Nawab Saifullah Magsi, Hasan Javeri, Fakir Ayazuddin, Shujaatullah Khan & Sikander Latif.
