I once had a brochure for the very early 350SL. I seem to recall that it included a list of the options available. Can't find it, although it should be here somewhere.

Mind you, I am quite happy to have the fixed whip antenna. My 300D had a Hirschman. When it stopped working, I bought another one for a low price. It was also a Hirschman. Maybe a Chinese knock-off? I may still have it. I gave up on those electric telescopic units. They would get bent for all sorts of reasons and then would never work unless I replaced the mast. I leave the now slightly curved mast up on 300D. Works fine
