1986 420SL Import - Help!

Hey guys,

I posted a topic in the SL forum but it doesn't look like that particular sub-forum gets much exposure and I need some quick help.

Have a 1986 420 SL that was not sold in the United States, and am having a very tough time finding out its approximated worth. Basically all websites lead me to UK sites, and I have yet to find a "blue book" that has my particular model.

The car has 136,000 miles and is good condition. Any ballpark figure would be greatly appreciated, the dealer I've been speaking to has no idea what to do with it either.

Thanks in advance!

420SL is not a desirable here, even though the 4.2 litre motor was sold here.
Does it have a stick or automatic?
Records and service books?
DEP import info, also would be good to have so registering is not a problem.
Has it been federalized?

Some points to consider, Yes these were mainly sold in the Uk.
