Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (W194) Grand Prix of Bern, 1952 #20 blue 1/18 CMC M-159

Limited Edition 1500 pcs.

After participating in the 1952  Mille Miglia race, Mercedes-Benz was headed to the Swiss Grand Prix of Bern, where a rare treat for the audience was to take place. There was to be a simultaneous race with cars that possessed an engine 1.5 Liters or larger.  Mercedes-Benz entered three 300 SL Coupés. They were the #16 in Red, #18 in Green and #20 in Blue. CMC has masterfully replicated these three Icons to perfection in the 1:18^th scale
