General Discussion / Re: Data card for my 280SL manual

Hi,
The "Auftrags-Nr." or Order No. contains the dealer resp. country code as explained in box "e" of your data card.
In your case it's "84020452".
- The first digit is the last digit of the year in which the order was placed: "8" =1968
- The next three digits identify the region (if in Germany) or the country from which the order was placed: "402" = Tourists (except USA).

The Body and Paint Number Plate contains in line 3 the first 8 digits of your VIN and the first digit of the distribution code only. In att. example it's "7".

Search the forums for data card reproduction or data card reprint. A member here does a fantastic job ot it.  Highly recommended!!

Appreciate it - however, that plate is missing. The does need a lot of work - but glad to save it.

You can do that if it's your preference, but if you prefer originality then stick with the horn pad that matches the ash tray cover and window crank inserts.

Yes, those are them. I am not at the point in my life to own a vintage Mercedes. Of course I’d like to sell them. I’m not sure what you’re inferencing saying “idea”, but I assure you this is exactly what happened.

I don't get it, but to each their own.  It's like buying a 150 year old house, tearing it down to the studs, creating an open floor plan, and redecorating in a modern style.  Just buy a new house if that's what you want!!

The car interior is fully redone and in great shape, I’m switching to white steering wheel and want the center pad to match the blue interior! Thanks for your input
