This timeless classic resembles a delicate work of art, with graceful and elegant features. Nevertheless, it also presents itself as a racing machine, winner of the competitive Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally in 1963 driven by Eugen Böhringer.
The MB model became famous for its “pagoda” roof. Its heavy removable hardtop was exclusively provided with a concave curve (usually the cars’ roof is convex when seen from the front or rear). Mercedes-Benz engineers created this rigid structure for the car to protect occupants in a rollover. Furthermore, the roof edges facing upwards made room for taller windows, ensuring better visibility and giving the car a light look.
