There are repros of this car, but the guy talked as if this were an original. I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area to know, and I didn't ask.

Beautiful car. I did not know MB ever made cars like that.

Um yeah........I bet that's a replica. Originals are worth anywhere between 800k and 1.7 million and there might be about 5-8 still around. Replicas are around 25k-50k. But maybe that guy does not care if his million dollar car gets dings.....LOL

I heard him say that most of them are still in Germany, and that's where I got the idea that it might be an original. It could be that even he doesn't know.

Edit: I just Googled it and it said that these cars are multi-million-dollar museum pieces, and very unlikely to be at a weekend car show. The roadsters are even rarer...

And famous race cars, too. The story of the 1955 Mille MIglia and Sterling Moss is legendary:
