This 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is one of 1,858 roadsters built during a six-year production run and was delivered new to the US on August 1, 1958. This W198 roadster is now offered with a Mercedes-Benz certificate and German registration. The 300SL roadster model’s 3.0-liter M198 inline-six was carried over from the fixed-roof variant and shares its canted orientation, Bosch mechanical direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication, and aluminum cylinder head. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The Mercedes-Benz production certificate indicates that the car was built for the US market and lists identification numbers, colors, and a delivery date of August 1, 1958.
