Ok, finally got to sit with someone in my local MB dealer who has any interest in older cars and not just wanting to sell me a new AMG!!! (Ah the joys of the Middle East).
Apparently my car is an 85 560SL, however because it was one of the very first made for the Australian market (not Japan as I was led to believe!!) there was no 560SL model code on the Aussie vehicle registration system, so it was registered as a 500SL!!
The headlights are the euro ones and the spare wheel matches the other four.
I am on the hunt for a new exhaust from the downpipes back as the one thats on it has been botched and welded together, it has a cat on it that isnt doing anything and it looks like the engine has been retuned to run without it anyhow (Cats arent needed over here anyway) and I want to change the shocks as they are very soft (any recommendations would be appreciated). At present she is in the shop having the A/C overhauled as its about as effective as a mouse blowing a candle!!
