Hi, as a new owner of a 1982 280sl I am looking for a wind deflector and was hoping someone may be able to point me in the direction of a good supplier in the UK? - Thank you
As title, set of four with an ET18 offset so will fit R129 W126 and W107 without the need for spacers.
Anything else will likely need spacers or modifications of some kind.
One wheel has damage to an outer rim and requires splitting to fit a new rim, hence low starting price.

My W107 1989 MB ( last year of that shape ) 3 litre straight - six , owned and garaged by me for the last 7 years , has developed a strange ' knocking ' noise emanating from the back axle . This car is a weekender - have just returned from a 500 mile round trip . I think the noise comes from the...
I have two good complete doors for a Mercedes W107 SL, I believe they are from a 1985 model.
The doors are in red colour, very good condition, ideal for someone who is restoring a SL W107, These parts are getting rare these days.
Will take a sensible offer, not looking for...
Hi Everyone
I was looking on this web site http://www.my450sl.com/ as I have just bought a W107 420 SL 1986 model mercedes car.
I seen the car on the web site has got crome wheels, they look great on this car and was wondering if anyone can advise me if the wheels can be crommed or do they...
My wife would like a W107 (I got to choose the last car), but would much prefer a manual. Theres a manual 350 SL on E-bay for spares, current bid £820.
So my question is how rare is the manual gearbox?
Is it rare enough to warrant buying the car on e-bay just for the gearbox?
Thanks as...
I have a set of new calipers, literally mounted on car and then taken off for a 500SL W107 model. The calipers are for the front and are boxed.
Open to offers.
I have an 88 300SL and recently upgraded stereo to something a bit more powerful, and its really showing up the speakers in the dash. does anyone have any advice in terms of replacing them, or having completely new (and bigger) ones cut into the doors? heard that someone has had a big woofer in...
I have got a 420 SL which I've cherished for the past 8 years. Its driven occasionally now and is brought out mainly on good weather days for a spin in the sunshine. Anyway, I have recently noticed that it has started to produce a lot of blue smoke, and a smell of burning oil. This happens when...
Hi folks. Just found this forum. Excellent.
I am getting seriously tempted by these vintage SL's, now starting to look very elegant if unmolested and reasonably priced.
Which engine would you reccommend? The 420 seems a good bet, but Honest John has some scary stuff about looking for oil...
I've heard the 380 V8 engine much maligned in the past. What's wrong with it?
Anything I can do to make it better before it goes back in?
How much work is involved in changing to a double-row timing chain, and is it really necessary?
Thanks all
Hi All
I'm breaking a 1981 W107 280SLC
Good straight six engine and autobox. Fired up straight away, well almost, after car has been stood since May 1998. Drives lovely, but the floor has some rust - structural rust, and the cost of repairing it is beyond my means.
Everything's...
