For those who are unaware. I am now recreating Data cards to replicate the exact original look of those
Supplied when our cars were new.
Over the past 50+ years many of these cards have been misplaced or lost. This was the fate of the cards for my car.
Contacting MB for a replacement, I received a poor photocopy of the card. Disappointed with this, I set out to produce
New Data cards to exactly replicate the originals.
Research has shown that there were 5 Data cards 3 beige and 2 pink copies.It is unclear whether all 5 cards were supplied
to the customer. But the 5 cards do exist.
Having had numerous enquires from fellow members to recreate their cards, I am now able to recreate Data cards for all
W113 cars 230, 250 & 280SL. (12 different styles / card formats were used from 1963 – 1971)
Cards for W111, W108, W109 and early R107 are also available.
If you are interested you can email me at alpinaltd@aol.com I would need you to send me the photocopy MB Supply,
this allows me to layout the cards exactly replicating the original. Attached are jpg examples.
More examples can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/MBDatacards (use email button to contact me.)
I supply the new reproduction Data cards (front and back) as a High resolution PDF file for printing onto card.
The fee for the service is 30 euro via PayPal.

FYI
I bought one of these, he custom researched and made it for my '59 220se 'vert. Nice job, friendly guy. VERY reasonable price! Give him a try! Keith
-
Best deal on the planet! He made cards for both my 280SE W111 and my '60 220SE W128 coupe. These will make a great addition to the original documentation I have for car shows.
-
Can you supply this as well?
You would probably need a better quality than what I have...
-
Ahh, well you beat me to it. You know i can't resist a challange, so i would have done it sooner or later. attached
is my version. Sorry Micheal, i have used fonts that are bit closer to the original, and cleaned up the diagrams a bit.
best regards

lol, I only tried because I was.going a little stir crazy. It was a good learning experience 🤣 There is still a lot to learn. 👍
-
I got infected (by this Kangol leaflet), found it and bought it on ebay. I will let you know the dimensions when I get it.
-
Don't say "Infected" 😷🤣
-
The original I have is 8" (20.3cm) x 12-7/8" (32.7cm). Kind of odd sized paper for here in the US. 8-1/2 x 11 won't work. I guess 11 x 17 is the only option and cutting it down. The paper weight feels to be just standard for printing.
FYI......
-
Why did I buy it, actually...
-
Thanks to Achim. New early 230SL Data card details found. Now recreated. ;)
-
My guess the odd size is so it can fit in the pouch.
-
This gives you an idea of what i do...

Would you be able to create a printable version of this for us all?
Thanks
-
You are in luck. I recreated this a while ago. I can send the high resolution PDF to an Admin to add to the technical manual
(i don't know how). It can be added to all the other decals i donated a while ago. I would prefer if it was for Full Members only.
Gives one more small incentive to join as a full member.

Lovely gesture. Thanks
-
That’s awesome. Very kind
-
I, too, received my data cards for one of my W109 cars. I couldn't be happier! Excellent product!

Peter,
Ihave already put his version in the Tech Manual under Electrical, Fuses, but at the same time asked Darren to send me the PDF file so I could put it in the Tech Manual that can be downloaded for printing.

Hi,
I sent the PDF to admin@sl113.org earlier today. I have also sent it to Garry.

Have put it in there but not sure it is loading correctly.
Peter, you may care to check please.
-
You put it all in there three times, with all slightly different names... ;) not matching what is in the Wiki text. I fixed it, was an easy fix.

'Tis a thing a beauty........

This is wonderful! I was about to order one from the Classic Center. Do you know what the differences are? What all would I need to supply you with? LOVE this and am very interested.

You will need at least one data card in order to provide the correct information. If you have a card that came with the car, that would be sufficient. Otherwise you will have to get the one from the Classic Center and then send to DM. They are nice indeed.
-
Hi, I would like you to make me a data card. I have a copy from Mercedes classic center. Please give me your PayPal address and I’ll pay the 30 euro fee.....plus shipping to US. Also, please let me know how I can email you a copy of my data card. Thanks
-
Hi,
I have sent you an email with the details. Note they are also at the top of this post. I have attached the answers to the
questions i get asked most often.
best regards
DM.

DM:
From your last post, did I correctly interpret.
I have a recently purchased 1985 300SD and I need a data card.
With my VIN Number you can reproduce a data card.
Let me know.
Tom
-
Yes Tom that is correct. If you message or email me with the VIN number i can prepare a new set of cards.
-
For anyone who also owns a “modern classic” I can also recreate data cards for these models.
For any model built after 1981 all you need is the VIN number.
-
For every Mercedes Model from the mid 1950s - 2000s

230SL, 250SL & 280SL

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I contacted, purchased ($150 USD) and received a rough .pdf from the MERCEDES BENZ CLASSIC CENTER (classicdatacards@mbusa.com) in December 2020 of my 280SL's data.
I then forwarded that single image file to alpinaltd and within a day he returned fantastic artwork to me replicating the 5 original cards (3 in manila/tan(front and rear) and 2 in pink). Alpinaltd's artwork included the proper fiducial markers for print registration and for cutting from card stock and trimming for both square and radiused corners as indicated.
With his artwork, I had the cards jet printed at Southport Printing on Islington Street in Portsmouth, NH on 271gsm weight stock.
I couldn't be happier with the end product. The level of detail in alpinaltd's work is top notch.
