Classic Mercedes-Benz W198 Roadster
At Hilton & Moss, we offer world-class servicing, maintenance and restoration for the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster (W198) – one of the most desirable and technically advanced sports cars of its era. As the UK’s leading independent Mercedes-Benz specialists, we have a deep understanding of the engineering excellence and timeless beauty that define this open-top icon.
Introduced in 1957 as the successor to the famous Gullwing coupe, the 300SL Roadster combined race-bred performance with greater refinement and everyday usability.
