I remember reading that the convertible was better handling car than the Gullwing. The Gullwing did not suffer fools gladly - to put it mildly - and was prone to severe lift throttle oversteer that would catch drivers unwary. The roadster's rear swing axle was reworked to counter this and was a sweeter handler.
The 300SL is one of the few cars where I prefer the convertible version over the coupe.
thanks for the cool pictures - i especially like the third last one with an overhead comparo of the 500SL and 300SL roadster. No-one can ever call the new SL ugly but the old one easily shades with awesome character lines - check out the hood and rear. Timeless classic....
