Iīm new here, but unfortunately donīt have at the moment, but had one beautifull 280SE from 1968, with original air conditioning, in dark blue with ivory tex mex. I also like the Fintails a lot, and this week I saw an italian film from 1969, and the leading actor (Omar Shariff) had a fintail, with single headlamp, and small rear light. Couldnīt see the exactly model, but probably one 200. The most courios was that the front doors hadnīt quarter lights, any. Iīd like if anybody can clear me this.
My best wishes, and thanks.

there were two styles of fintail (heckflosse) four door sedans. The W110 fintail sedan has the single headlight as you describe. The other sedan was the W111 chassis. -cth

Yeah but I think special guest first time visitor from Canary Islands in Spain is talkin about quarter panel lights amidships in front of doors on earlier 110's. To best of my recollection MB stopped installing em circa 1964/65..... then interestingly started installing em again on modern cars 40 yrs later at/near 2005. Handy feature those little side mounted "taxi cab" lights - they include single 2 watt parking light bulb that can be left on forever without draining the battery - like say the car gets buried in snowdrift curbside for week or so and you dont want late night snow plows to bash the car. Just flip the switch all the way left and walk away. Come back even a month later and parking light can still be illuminated.

I thought he meant the vent windows.
