The carb plumbing was different from a normal 220s and one of the old German guys at the shop said the carbs had been replaced with higher throughput versions from another model. The car had beautiful custom made solid piping that looked like it came from Germany with the proper acorn fittings and braided cloth cover - identical to the original but with a different input location on one of the carbs. I thought he said 300SL but I certainly could be mistaken. I remember being impressed at the time (as a 20 something year old) that I had carbs from a race car. No, I'm not interested in another one, I just thought I could supply some early history to the present owner if the car is still around. Thanks, -Reid
