any 500SL 107 you see over here is going to be a euro model, they were
never imported by MBNA

IIRC the factory euro 500SL did not appear until the early 80s; and imported
in small numbers by MBNA.
At the time, both gray-market and MBNA 500SLs were running around.
You'd have to check the vin # to know what model, of course

The 500SL in '79 would be a Euro model. I know they made 500SLC's -
for racing. I don't know if the 500SL is a standard Euro car or rare.
There aren't very many 500SLCs, and the do go for a fair amount of
money.

Yes, realized my error a few minutes after sending. In fact, Performance
Products catalog suggests that it would actually be a 450 rather than a
500,
but I am far from an SL expert.
