What could this button be for?

I'm voting Ejector Seats or Rocket Launchers.

Have you tried following the wiring to see what it connects to? Alarm? Kill switch?

One failed attempt to steal mine so far, and a friend had his 560SL stolen 18 months ago, and I saw it turn up on ebay last year, advertised as a 350SL that had had a 560SL drive train and interior installed.

It was advertised for sale in a not so reputable part of town, and it was clearly not a 350SL, it was anthacite (a colour the 350SL never came in) and it had exactly the same interior as Mike's car. It also had no hard top (Mike's car was stolen without his hardtop, and I ended up buying it off him), so I know it was his.

I informed one of the guys from the MB Club here who was a police officer, and he passed the info on, not sure what came of it.

I kind of lost interest when the insurance company told me the couldn't care less (I mean, WTF??? it is there car now they've paid Mike out).

And it was just before I went to Europe, so I hadn't thought about itagain until now.
