Not an SL, but I have a 450SLC 5.0 and a 500SLC. MB made a combined total of about 2800 107026 model cars. No idea how many are left but there seems to be quite a few survivors. I know a guy that had a 420SL in the UK. This should be really rare as they hardly made any 420SL's and even fewer are RHD. It is certainly the rarest 107.

As Alabbasi, I have the 450SLC 5.0, but in RHD, one of 274 RHD made which is quite rare but according to production figures the 500slc is even rarer than the 420SL.

3.5 4 speed from the factory
Mine is pretty rare: 1971, delivered new in the Netherlands 350SL 4 speed manual with the actual euro 3.5 engine. Not a 350SL-badged 4.5 as sold introduced in the US the following year or so.
A few recent articles about these have estimated there are very few so configured- like in the hundreds- but I haven't done a further research to confirm. There is not a single power option on the car, and no a/c. An engine, transmission, heater, and 2 seats! It did come with the alloys wheels, though.

You should drive your 350SL up here to our next GTG, jas. Charlottesville isn't that far from Northern VA.

For a variety of reasons, I've rarely driven mine in '08.
Hopefully in '09 I can drive my, semi, run of the mill, SL.

75, 280SL w/d-jet, 5spd and 861/261 color combo. As near as we can figure there were 12 made. Throw in option 260 (no trunk designation) and it gets rarer. Doesn't make it worth anymore, but I guess there are some bragging rights.

I know I just go out this time of year, pull off the cover and just look at the ol gal. Most folks think I'm crazy but its my "medicine" and I need a frequent dose, even if I cannot drive it right now

Sun shine floor? Is that as in "open air, sun shine floor?"
