Title: Upholstery Code in 230SL
Post by: Aligator on February 22, 2012, 17:44:34

Hello!

We're restorating our 230SL now. We repaired it from mechanic site. Now We'll doing exterior and interior works...
And We have a problem. We don't have data card and metal data plate. However we have VIN plate ;D.
And on back of seats and on door trim We have a mystery number: 90.
We think it's upholstery code of my car but we can't find desription about that combination number.
From our "investigation" we have Bamboo color on seats (http://www.gahh.net/smp-v20-c03-a.php)
and Dark Tan on the floor (http://www.gahh.net/smp-v20-c13-a.php).
Maybe somebody can help us to reassure our doubts and give us right numbers?

Many thanks for any help.
Marcin & Alex

Really the Data Card is your best source of information.
The MB Classic Center will send it to you free of charge and it got to me fast in my case.

I went with the US Classic Center in Irvine California.

I have found similar numbers in hidden locations on my car (back of glove box for example). The number is not the color code for the interior (at least not in my case).

Also, have you seen this section of the Technical Manual?: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/UpholsteryCodes

Hello Iconic

Thanks for give us right direction of proceeding.
We contacted with classic Mercedes in Warsaw and during this week we'll have card code.
