Post by: jeepster on February 25, 2013, 18:20:18

I have 1967 280sl with vin #11304412000009 and engine
No. 13098312000003 . Does anyone know of any other vin numbers below 10 or less than mine? It is a very original car an the Europe model.

you may want to have a look at the car registry, which is a searchable list open to all members. It may contain the answer to your question
http://www.sl113.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Registry.Start

I have one of the last VINs of 280SL, ending with 23798, made in February 1971, about 70 cars before the last. I know that there is at least one member on this list here that has a car with an even later VIN number.

Congrats on your first post!

Looking at the "production statistics" page ...

...it seems that your 280 SL was produced in December 1967 (a very early 280SL).

It looks like your car is already in the Registry...take a look at the car of Allen Penfield.
