Jay Leno’s 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe Ultimate Edition just finished phase one of a restoration. But we’ll let him tell tell you all about it.

If you want to add some extra magic to your drop-top escapades, check out this mint classic Mercedes-Benz SL we found for sale at RK Motors Charlotte.

Our crack team of spy photogs captured the new SL doing some testing, all wrapped in camouflage, and it gives us a few ideas about where Mercedes is going.

Because it’s that most wonderful time of the year, and because every member of MBWorld is on our list, we’re gifting you our collection of the best spy shots from the past 12 months, all wrapped up for the holidays.

After the jump, check out the upcoming refresh to the Mercedes SL Roadster. Although the picture conceals a lot, it does offer a small glimpse of what we’ll be getting in the future. We can see M-B’s new design language peeking through.

A Nissan GT-R driver likely got the surprise of a lifetime when a Mercedes SL55 AMG pulled up to the line for a drag race.

Picture the best vintage Mercedes you can buy. You’re wrong. This 1989 560 SL is the best, because you might actually be able to afford it.
