280 SL Gas Cap: A000 471 4730
« on: May 17, 2020, 01:42:24 »
Looking for a 1971 280SL (A000 471 4730) gas cap to replace the single sided key gas cap that I have.

As I recall, the later center key gas cap was available from authentic classics but it was at least 3 times the cost of the single sided key cap. 
250sl - later - manual
280sl - 1971 - Auto - LSD

Wow, thanks.  That was easy. Classic Mercedes told me they hadn't been available for 10 years. And the price is only twice the cost of the single sided key. What a deal.
