The Mercedes-Benz SL is a grand tourer manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sport Leicht, or Sport Lightweight — and was first applied to the 300SL 'Gullwing' named also after its gullwing or upward-opening doors.
The Mercedes 300SL roadster succeeded the Mercedes Gullwing in 1957. The 4-cylinder Mercedes 190SL was more widely produced with 25,881 units, starting in 1955. Cars of the open Mercedes SL-Class were available as a coupe with a removable hardtop or as a roadster with convertible soft top or with both tops. Production for the Mercedes 190SL and Mercedes 300SL ended in 1963.
