It could be a 1936 540K Spezial Roadster.

It doesn't look like a rodaster to me (chrome convertible bars has not been on them). However it wears the same split windscreen.
Interesting one off coachwork i think.
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.

I just found a very similar looking one on the database: /vehicle_11064-Mercedes-Benz-540-K-Spezial-Roadster-W29-1936.html

Yes this could be the same car. 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.

If it's not a Roadster, what do we call it?
