While the Special Roadster claims high esteem among enthusiasts of the supercharged Mercedes-Benz, it was not the Stuttgart firm’s only roadster of its era.
The existence of a Special model indicated that there must be a normal version, as well, and that was literally what the other model was called: the Normal Roadster.
Its rather uninspired name belied the sleek beauty of its lines.
Whereas the Special Roadster was curvaceous, the Normal Roadster was taut, with a slightly higher beltline that flowed up and around a rounded rear deck, tucked around the rear fenders, and of course a fabric top that folded flush with the body.
In no other body style of this generation Mercedes-Benz is the resemblance to the earlier, revered SSK more pronounced, and few others pack such visual power.
Normal? Hardly! More pointedly, the Normal Roadster was and is a great rarity, even more so than the Special Roadster.
It was produced solely on the 500 K chassis, and only a handful were built.
