I dont believe for a minute the 380 diff was LSD. Without proof or pictures it's all just a story.

I have seen several 380SL's with LSD's over the years working at the dealer....I have also seen a bunch of things that people say isn't possible or was never produced....like a LHD 280SL with a M110 engine and a 5 speed gearbox, but I drove/serviced this car regularly. I have also seen MBZ cars in the UAE that I have never seen anywhere else in the world; Benz's that most people would say simply do not exist....but they do.

I can also tell you we routinely serviced a Red Euro 380SL that belonged to a Chiropractor in Fresno. This 380 would frequently beat 560SL's from a standing start and from a 80 mph roll. We all thought the engine must have been at least a 4.5, but one day it jumped the chain and bent the valves. I did both heads and the chains, upgrading it to a double chain while I was in there.

Low and behold....it was just a 3.8 litre....
