Hi - I bought a 1966 230SL in Dec '04 (Melbourne Australia). Unfortunately I only know the history of the car going back around 10 years. I have managed to find some information about it through obtaining a data card from Mercedes Germany and doing a search with the local Car Registry in Melbourne. I know that it was first delivered in the UK (October 1966). It has a built date of 1965. I believe it was imported into Australia in 1989. I think it was not in the best condition when it was imported into Australia but has since at the hands of the previous owners and in my hands undergone a fairly good restoration. It is still in its orginal colour - horizon blue body with a dark blue hard top.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can find out more about the history of my car.
Cheers
Mubeen

Hello, Mubeen,
Check out this site:
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/contact/dvla_custenq.htm#Vehicle
I had to write to them with proof that I was the owner of the car and a five pound fee and they provided all the details of previous owners and addresses. Its a good start to gathering history...
