Thumbs up R107, 300sl?

I saw one of these locally for sale, is this just an M103 powered rig? Anything special about it, aside from being Euro?

It is the M103 - nothing special about it except it is rare in the US, and it has the post '86 upgrades. A good one would be good car.

Anything is possible..... but 5 speeds are hard to find.

I'm watching one a local MB clubmember has. It's an auto, but a nice one owner car. I suspect I'll jump on it if the price is right.

Euro 300SL

Hi

Did you buy it then?

As Michael says, they are a great car and if it's still got the Euro emmission system ( no Cat etc) it'll perform better than it's bigger US brothers both in power and MPG. I get mid 20's in m 300SL Auto around town ion British roads and over 30mpg on a run even after over 100K miles.

Happy hunting

cheers

Jim

Not yet, I have been busy moving. Plus I need to sell a few rides before I consider something else.
