Mercedes 300 SL roadster still mighty after 60 years<br />
WORDS BY<br />
THOMAS GEIGER / DPA / THE INTERVIEW PEOPLE<br />
he strikingly elegant coupe version of the Mercedes-Benz 300<br />
TSL with the gullwing doors is the most famous and also the most<br />
expensive version of the car to buy at auction.<br />
Fortunately, the conventional 300 SL roadster is a tad cheaper<br />
and more plentiful. For those seeking grace, pace and comfort, it is<br />
the better buy, say experts.<br />
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's just rewind back<br />
to 1954, when the advent of the gullwing was the automotive<br />
equivalent of a flying saucer landing on earth. It was also arguably the world's<br />
first supercar.<br />
