^^ Actually, IIRC, it's the front subframe that failed on your 380SL, not the control arm, isn't it?

[deportes]

Yes you are correct, it's the subframe that tore off and the control arm is still attached to the tabs.

The 450SL you have would be still covered by the recall. MB should replace that one for you (or your future buyer)

If nobody buys it I will be forced to take up to the MB dealer and have it updated.
