    Technik: Die SL-Baureihe 107, die 1971 als Nachfolger der sogenannten „Pagode“ (Mercedes-Benz W 113) auf den Markt kam, begründete mit den Breitband-H4-Scheinwerfern und den großen geriffelten Rückleuchten eine neue Gestaltungslinie bei Mercedes-Benz. Eine leichte Keilform deutete auf eine verbesserte Aerodynamik hin. Dieses Fahrzeug wurde 100% von US auf ECE umgerüstet (inkl. km Tacho) LG Tom
