Mercedes 300 SLR info?

Does anybody know the exact production numbers for the road-going 300 SLR's? I saw a '55 Convertible earlier today and the owner told me that it was a legitimate example. And don't worry, I'll be posting pictures, just not immediately.

No, I meant what I said and I said what I meant. It was the road-going version of this

It's rare as fvck. According to ultimatecarpage.com (which I'm sure you've already looked at) a total of eight 300SLR Roadsters were built. Funnily enough, they state that "none of the surviving 300 SLRs are in private hands today."

So I'm not sure what is what.

Yeah I was in the Mercedes Benz Museum recently, they had a road going one and a racing one. They looked absolutely awesome!
