Title: Service Manual Needed
Post by: bgreene30 on November 28, 2011, 07:21:11
Hi everyone,

What is the best service manual to get for a 69 280SL US model?

Does anyone have any for sale? If so, please PM me the details.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Hello Bob,
your best bet is the Mercedes Service Manual for passenger cars starting in 1968.  However,  many procedures described in the manual before (starting 1959) are not repeated so it is best to have both.
For more information look here: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Documents/BBB
They come up quite frequently on eBay, the 1968 more so than the earlier one.
An of course quite a bit of info is in our own technical manual - just browse around.

Thank you very much for the information.

I will keep my eyes open and if any members have extra would be interested in fair prices for good condition manuals.

Cheers
