Kinder Egg 1957 Mercedes 300SL

I love Kinder Eggs, but, unfortunately due to FDA regulations they are not sold in the States. I usually can score some if I or someone I know goes to Europe, but that is rare. And being the kind soul that I am I usually give some of my precious stash to nieces and nephews. 

The toys inside the eggs vary wildly as to quality, and there are some true gems. This is a toy I picked up some years back, so not sure of the series its part of. It appears to be a 1957 Mercedes 300SL. There is no Mercedes badge on the toy, but if it isn't the 300SL, it's a good knock-off. The scale is around HO, or 1/87.
I think the toy is comprised of 5 or 6 parts - simple, and well detailed.

The inspiration for the toy.
