Ennis Berker of Birmingham Michigan purchased the car in the early 1970’s from Bert Kinerk of Tucson, Arizona. The car was used as a daily driver for several years and a complete restoration was begun. The restoration was started and stopped several times but never completed. The car remained off the road and in storage for the next 38 years Dr. Berker reluctantly sold his Gullwing in May of 2011 with the odometer showing just 63,925 original miles to Michael Harling of Dallas Texas. Mr. Harling commissioned 300SL specialist Scott Grundfor to conduct a 100 point body off “Show” restoration. The restoration entailed over 4,000 hours to complete. The car was completed in February of 2014. It was shown at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance in March and was awarded a First Prize. Subsequently it was shown at the Concours d’ Elegance of America at St. Johns and won the coveted Mercedes Benz” trophy.
