Retrofitting a/c to car not originally equipped, to me, is like doing a transmission swap- but, I see you've already done that with a 300e, so... I'll eat my words...!

I sort of think that adding a/c to a 5 sp euro 107 SL kind of defeats the purpose of why it is such a cool car in the first place- light weight, w/o all of the options in the US versions that add weight and complexity. While rare, there are enough 6 cyl 107's out there that finding one ideally-equipped from the factory might be easier. Meaning one with a/c already- please don't add it to a pure, stripped down euro 107! What's next, power windows?! I say preserve what may be M-B's only modern, real sports car as is-

Cheers,

JAS
