From what I have read there were 16 prototypes made. I guess it could be one of those. Production started in 1970 and 3 were made then. The chassis number would tell a lot.
The Mercedes Classic Center in Irvine, California would be the best source for information. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r-c1...irvine-ca.html

Either way that is a very nice looking one. Has the optional alloy wheels and co driver mirror. What other options?

This is very interesting, I would love to see any follow up.

I often get queried for having just the driver mirror and have to explain that it comes 'stock' like that..I love the foot operated wipers and chrome gear shift surround too.
