This is the gullwing, not the coupe.
The coupe had the doors that opened normally.
Regardless, everything else is right about this sexy beast. I have a Dicast of this on my office desk. Deep within the realm of HP.

I think the convertible version of the car featured normal doors. Another way to list this is car would be 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. I am indifferent as to which I like better.

The 190 was the 4 cyl model.

That's exactly why they go for the amount of money they do. If you can afford on of these then you've got to have plenty cash.

I don't think these stats are right; they may be for the 190. According to MercedesBenz.Com, the 300 SL went about 165 mp/h.

Im pretty sure the doors opened normally to accomadate a drop top, so that must have been the convertible...so that leaves...ah yes!The Coupe. (coupe by definition has two doors and a hardtop)
Still, what ever you think (or don't) it'll always be Number 1.

Actually, the "Gullwing" Coupe was produced 1954-1957. The Roadster 1957-1963, which was available with removable hardtop. So there it is, a 300SL Roadster with a hardtop, would have looked like a coupe with normal doors..?
