GENERAL INFO

The 27A Mercedes 230SL arrived in 1970 and in time to get an F2 box showing the model with Superfast wheels and the black “Superfast” on the sides. The top and bottom only have the Superfast logo. The end flap closers are displaying “TME”, “PO” and “MK2”.

RARITY

This box wasn’t around for long, as more modern Superfast boxes came after. So this box is most probably the least common for this model.
