Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 300 SL W198 Roadster wears blue with opening doors, bonnet and boot revealing the straight-six engine bay. This 1957 open-top followed the iconic Gullwing coupe as one of the era's most desirable sports cars.
About the Mercedes 300 SL W198 Roadster Blue Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 300 SL W198 Roadster in blue has opening doors, bonnet and boot, revealing the straight-six engine bay. This 1957 open-top followed the Gullwing coupe as one of the decade's most desirable sports cars.
The Roadster succeeded the Gullwing coupe in the 300 SL lineage, trading the coupe's signature doors for open-top motoring without losing the car's fundamental appeal.
Norev's Diecast Build of the 300 SL Roadster
Zinc alloy construction gives this model genuine weight, and doors, bonnet and boot all open, with the long bonnet revealing the straight-six engine that made the 300 SL a genuine performance benchmark of the 1950s. The blue paint carries a rich, period-appropriate depth under direct light, and the Roadster's flowing fenders and low, elegant nose, both hallmarks of the car's design, are rendered with the smooth surfacing diecast tooling manages well on this era's rounded bodywork. Chrome trim around the grille and bumpers is picked out with the crispness a car this significant deserves.
The 300 SL's Standing in Vintage Collecting
The 300 SL, in both Gullwing and Roadster forms, sits among the most sought-after classic Mercedes of any era, and the Roadster's open-top configuration offers a genuinely different display character to the Gullwing's dramatic doors. At around 21cm, it fits comfortably alongside earlier and later vintage Mercedes sports cars, and pairing it with a Gullwing model tells the fuller story of how the 300 SL evolved across its production run. The diecast build's genuine weight and glossy finish reward the close inspection a car this celebrated deserves.
