HAYNES DESCRIPTION:

This range of roadsters arrived in 1971 and remained in production until 1989. They were always powered by the engines used in the big saloons and their forte was luxury combined with safety. In terms of engineering, quality, and durability this top of the range Mercedes stands supreme. This particular car was owned by film producer Steven Spielberg, who was responsible for many ScFi, horror/suspense movies. It originally carried the number plate JAWS 51
