It certainly looks like a MB 300 SL Roadster that has been slightly
modified for racing.
I think that the 300 SL Roadster was only manufactured in the period from
1956 to 1958, but my memory may be faulty on that. I think the most
telling feature are the vents on the front fender. I have only seen them
on 300 SL's.
