I think it's more of a rollover/liability thing. Flip your 300SL Gullwing, which causes it to light on fire...how are you going to get out?
I never thought about that before

If you flip your 300 SL gullwing you'll probably want to kill yourself anyway.

a gullwing door is only on a delorean and the mercedes gullwing the slr is based off of it but they are technically butterfly doors which open verticaly only. lamo door swing out then up. have seen the install on a s2k and it doesnt look bad at all if you know what you are doing just dont go cheap on the kits and DO NOT buy a universal kit buy one DESIGNED for the s2k and dont get lambo get "butterfly" which i said its like a gullwing knock off but comes from the fender. the SLR style is what i am talking about. have driven and seen plenty of SLRs hence how i work for benz.

Weren't Bricklin doors electro-hydraulic? If your battery went dead or you otherwise had an electrical issue you couldn't open the doors!
