A friend has a 1975 450SL with a CD player. He needs the original model that came with his car. When that is installed, he is eligible to get collector license plates on the car. I have a 1986 Becker radio that he can have, but he wants it to be like the original. Did the SL have a Becker AM/FM/Cassette in 1975 and if so, would my 1986 model look authentic enough?

Thanks for the help!

I'm in no way an SL expert, but to my knowledge, those cars came with Becker Europas. Quite possibly a Europa II or Grand Prix of sorts. They had the two knobs, chrome rimmed faces. Really a pretty radio. The 1986 Becker Grand Prix would fit, however, would not look correct. I would look it up on the Becker site if I were you! Good luck.

the Europa II radio, I believe it's the original since the previous owner also passed on the radio paperwork!
