Mercedes Enthusiast seems only to list the most recent incarnation of each model. When the model designations switched from xxxSL to SLxxx the 12v I6 300SL was replaced with the 24v I6 SL280 and the 24v I6 300SL-24 was replaced with the 24v I6 SL320. This would be about 1994. The 3v V6 was only produced from 1998. All very confusing. I will look in my ridiculously expensive but very comprehensive book Mercedes Opera Omnia when I get the chance, this has detailed statistics on every Mercedes.
