In this hot weather it may seem like your social media feed is full of car dashboards and temperature gauges, but why no SL photos?
Well, the Outside Temperature Gauge was a ‘cost option’, adding an extra £105 to the list price of an SL in 1989 – that’s £278 in today’s money!
The optional Temperature Gauge takes the place of the central air vent within the dashboard, as can be clearly seen here:
3 Air Vents… 
2 Air Vents and a Temp Gauge…
So there you have it, if your SL has an outside temperature gauge, you can thank the first owner for ticking that box when it was new.
