I need HELP identifying a Hardtop roof

I am trying to find what car models this MB hardtop will fit. It is white and has the number 141453 stamped on a side panel of the roof. It has the three glass widows and the electrical cable for the defroster.

It looks like the roof that was on my 1968 230SL but I don't have that vehicle to compare it with. What models will it fit?

Looks like an R107, just like mine. The number is the car serial number with which it was originally supplied.

Thank you for the reply and information. Now I need to find a way to sell this heavy bugger. There is a Concours each year here maybe I can find a person who needs this and I then I would have to figure out how to crate it and ship it. How does one attempt to find someone who needs this roof?

There are a number of R107 Facebook groups, including some that are related to parts. You can also try the R107 forum on Benzworld.org. If you can take the time, the glass and trim are very valuable as individual items.
