On Pg. 4 of the Owners Manual it states "The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 SL ROADSTER is a vehicle with very high acceleration and top speeds. On account of its outstanding roadholding ability and springing, it is only too easy for you not to realize how fast you are really traveling. All the more reason to firmly resist every temptation to be careless". (Mercedes-Benz Type 300SL Owners Manual - Edition B) These words were no doubt written after the race version took victory at 1952 editions of Le Mans, Bern-Bremgarten, Eifelrennen and the Carrera Panamericana.
From its inception this vehicle was an instant success with the US market. This affection started in the 50's with the Coupe or Gullwing and continued into the 60's with the Roadster.

Finished with an ivory exterior, red interior and a maroon soft top this vehicle will definitely turn heads.
