Mercedes-Benz sold more than three times as many 300SL Roadsters as it had Gullwing coupes, making the roadster the far bigger commercial success of the two body styles.

The 300SL's upward-opening doors were a consequence of its high-sided tubular space frame, which made conventional doors impractical.
