A VETERANS EXEMPT flag painted on the white top would make a statement, 
confuse most and make it blend with the schwarz car.

You should have the wrench for installing/removing the top manually. If you 
don’t you need to get one. It’s not difficult to use once you know how.

When I bought one (107) I drove to get it in the SL with the soft top up.
Thus transport was a cinch.  That top is still hanging in the garage.
(I bought it for the defroster glass.)

The key word here is “hard top”.  If he wants to change the color he’ll have to

[MBZ] SL top

2019-05-28 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
Scored what looks like a brand new never been used SL hardtop. White with blue 
interior, white headliner. The guy whose it was had his car rear ended and the 
insco totaled it. Top sat in his garage until he moved and he gave it to his 
neighbor to unload. Guy has been trying to sell it on  CL for awhile, lis ted 
it on Saturday again for $300. Offered him $250 and he jumped on it. Probably 
should have started at 200 but since it was basically brand new...

My car is black/black so this is not a match in that regard but it’s nice to 
have a good spare I guess.
