Hello,
I've recently purchased an SL (R107 chassis) and wanted to get a hardtop stand for the garage. Its a rented space so cannot get the ceiling hoist.
Any reccomendations? I've seen the one at the SL shop for £150, but I've seen the one on eBay from "UK Custom Covers" which is around £90...

Hi
am new to this, first post. Have managed to get hold of a CLK 320 with a wiesmann hardtop. Have a couple of niggles and wondered if anyone could help, as the car came with no paperwork about the roof.

Here's an interesting item just spotted. Perfect for the SL owner with no friends to help lift the hardtop!

Hi all,
I have a pre-face lift R129 hard top in bornite available. It is currently in a lockup so no pictures, but if you are interested, let me know and I'll sort something out.
Any reasonable offers considered before I sell it for scrap metal.
