Dear Gary,
I am new to the club and applied for the Full Membership.
I am looking for a few items for my 1971 w113, for which was originally purchased by my dad.
Is there a way of posting a question to the whole club.
I also have a few questions about an option that is not in any materials, but on my car and I have never seen in any picture ever over my years of looking on the internet or the sl113 club.
I am a retired certified Mercedes Technician and have also owned, restored and sold over the years, many Mercedes models.
The car was originally ordered for Ziggy Benzel, the owner of Benzel Busch Mercedes in Englewood, New Jersey for his wife as a gift. She hated it when he gave to her and that is how my dad bought the car. They were friends, so that’s how dad was able to buy it.
Ziggy asked the factory to put in options that the factory did not offer if you were just a regular customer and could not order.
He also either put on options/accessories he could put on or gave my dad the items that his dealership was able to acquire or install.
If you know of any of the rarest items, I would like to see if I have it.
It’s easier for me to know what I need to look for in the garage attic, then trying to explain what I have or take pictures of it.
I might even have doubles.
Looking forward to hearing from you…
Thank You,
Scott
