Andrew - they want to make sure you didn't just copy a VIN number through
the windshield, as the complete production record includes the key coding.
A thief could then, in theory, make off with someone else's car. I was told
that a title or registration paper would suffice. Of course, that was at
the main Classic Center in Fellbach; MBUSA/Irvine Classic Center may make
things easier by just omitting the key info.

Werner, what more do they want than the VIN?
