Owner's Manual - 500SL

[Andrew Griffiths]

I have a 1981 500SL type 107. I have searched for an Owners Workshop Manual (Haynes -type) but with no success. I have read a reply on this website that someone has a supply of owners manuals.  Are these the same as the Haynes type?? Grateful if someone can tell me what level of detail it covers, how I can get one and what the cost is????

Owners manuals are the booklets that you keep in the glovebox. I think you want a workshop manual.

Whan I had an SL, I bought an american manual (Chilton, I think) from Motorbooks. It was about £15 and worth the money.

Andrew,

I went to Earls Court Car Show two years ago, and there was one stall where they had all types and makes of car owners mauals even the first Ferrari ones! My partner went mad when they had the 348 TS owners Manual for his car and costed around £500.
