1961 mercedes-benz 300sl sl 4 sp manual 2d roadster

1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster stands as one of the most technically advanced and desirable sports cars of its time. Originally developed from the W194, the 300SL set new standards in production car engineering with its space-frame chassis and pioneering Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system. When it debuted, it was celebrated as the fastest production automobile in the world, instantly establishing itself as the benchmark for performance and innovation.

The Roadster, introduced in 1957 as the successor to the famed ``Gullwing`` coupe, incorporated a number of important refinements. Most notably, the chassis was revised and reinforced to accept conventionally hinged doors, which in turn lowered the door sills and greatly improved accessibility. While this modification sacrificed some of the coupe dramatic gullwing character, it made the Roadster a more practical and comfortable car for everyday use, afforded only by super rich and famous of the day.

In keeping with its racing pedigree, every Roadster was equipped with the NSL-specification version of the 3.0-litre inline-six. This advanced engine ensured that performance remained exceptional, with top speeds ranging from 133 to 155 mph depending on the final drive ratio. From 1961 onward, Mercedes introduced disc brakes on the 300SL Roadster, providing significantly improved stopping power. This is one of only a limited number of cars that were delivered with this rare and desirable feature, making disc-brake examples among the most sought-after today.

This example with letter of authenticity confirming matching numbers, was maintained to an exceptionally high standard throughout its life. It remains a superbly presented car, offering the ideal blend of drivability, and originality. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the 300SL Roadster represents the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz engineering from the period and is recognised as the most significant car in Mercedes Benz history, an automobile that combines competition-derived technology with timeless design and enduring value.
