Suggest that you cover the key codes!

Thank you. I didn't realize they were in the sheet. I might just re-key it (saving the originals). Just amended the posting and (I think) blurred the key codes.

You can decode all the fields using the information provided in the Technical Manual: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/DataCards

Wow ....!   

Hello Steven,
So your car has option code 230 which refers to the ZF 5-speed. However, that option code always came with code 232, which means 4.08 rear end. That one is clearly missing with your car.
Instead, the "Hinterachsen-Nr." clearly implies that you have got a 3.92 rear end.
Very, very uncommon.

But you are absolutely sure to have the ZF 5-speed? Yes?


Best,

Achim

The car has a five speed that was ordered from the NY Mercedes of North America dealer. Three of the best SL113 experts in the US all believe it is original to the car and all the (extensive) paperwork supports that. I have no idea about the rear end. It drives beautifully. In two weeks, I will be driving it in California and will post the RPM / speed ratios.
