Mercedes 300 SL Roadster - 1958
W198 II
The 300 SL's victory in the 1952 24 Hours of Le Mans left its mark and kicked off the road-going career of this grand tourer. Max Hoffman, the American importer, undertook to sell 1.000 units of a detuned version of this car provided it kept its butterfly doors. Three years later he wanted a cabriolet.
