First I would hit the right side of the center console, on the carpet just
right of the heater and radio. This is where the vacuum unit is, they are
know for having bad solder joints thus hitting there you will often hear a
click and then things start working in which case it will need resoldered.
I think they may have made a 200SL in 68 but there is very little info on
em, this was probably only sold in the UK where they have a liking for
underpowered sports cars.

Clutch is on left as well as the brake. Placing you foot over both will
engage both as far as I can tell.
