Manual Pouch
« on: May 20, 2020, 20:25:55 »
I am not a stickler for originality on my car as I have no plans to show it or sell it for six figures on BaT, but....the car is pretty complete because it hasn't been messed or tinkered with in the last 35 years.
I found this in the glove box. What is the story? Is this an original item that came with the 280SL?

Yes Mike the pouch is the original. Take care of it, they are a bit hard to come by.  Many model Mercedes of the era used the same or similar, but they are disappearing fast.

Most possibly a original, I recently saw a listing from a German seller stating it was a repro pouch  for 25 euro
