There has been a Spezial Cabriolet with split windows that won in Pebble Beach 1973 (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/2929895429_948d469499.jpg) But this is a different one.

However I'm still convinced that it's not a roadster. The roadster typically came with a rumble seat and was a pure two seater. This one looks more like a 2+2 convertible.
