420SL

I have a 1986 420SL in Texas. There were a totla of 2148 420's manufactured between 1985 and 1999. I'm curious if anyone has the breakdown by year?

and Hanno makes it 4

This is turning into a popularity contest - has anyone ever done a survey on here of which models we all have?

In the context of the U.S. market 420SL has to be the rarest - couldn't be more than a handful of them in the U.S. The one above is only the second one I've heard about, the first being for sale here in Scottsdale a year of so ago.
