Amazing 107 Book
A month or so ago I bought a book on eBay titled "Faszination SL" published by the Daimler Chrysler Corporate Archives. It finally arrived. Very cool. It covers all of the 107's from the 280SL through the 560, with beautiful pictures and lots of obscure facts.
Quick - What model had the lowest production number? What model(s) had the highest horsepower? What was the first model, and what year?

That's a great site, but it seems to be for US cars only - no 280, 300, 420, or 500 info.

I did not notice the US cars only. I was just happy to find the detailed information on my car.

Not realizing it I purchased the same book last week on eBay from
mbparts@mcgeorge-mercedes.com , they are in Virginia. It was $21. plus postage. I look forward to it with a recommendation like this.
