[MBZ] Data Card Option Code

[Bob Rentfro]

Does the "820 - tourist delivery" option code on the vehicle data card mean the 
original owner picked up the car in Germany?

What's the best stuff to use to adhere a new door deal? 
I got the seal months ago from Rusty and I thought I had some goo but I don't. 
I'd like to do this today ( along with an oil change and radiator replacement 
[if it comes]) so hopefully it's something I can just run down to NAPA or 
McParts and snag. 

Danke

Weatherstrip cement.  Available most anywhere.  But it only goes
on in a few places, usually at the hinge end, most of the door
seals just tuck into the channel in the door frame.

Usually. The dealer MAY have taken delivery there (sort of a working 
vacation) and then brought it to the States and sold it either as a new 
or demo car.

Bob - you can contact the MBUSA Classic Center, where they can access all 
the info for your car.  They can send you a complete list of all the 
production codes, serial numbers, etc.  The only obstacle is that they will 
need to be able to verify that you are the bono fide owner, since the data 
also contains key code info.

"Bob - you can contact the MBUSA Classic Center, where they can access all

I sent off and they emailed me that info...that's where I saw the "820 
tourist delivery" code.

Good information.

Bob - we just got back (Sunday) from the last 50th Anniversary trip of the 
year to the M-B facilities in and around Stuttgart.  One of the stops was 
the Euro delivery center, where they, on that day, rolled out the 25th 
million car!  There must have been 30 cars in the main floor, all ready to 
go to buyers that morning.
We also went and visited the main Classic Center in Fellbach, where they 
wouldn't give me the data for my car as I only had the VIN.  I was curious 
to see if they had more info than what MBUSA sends out in this country.

I want to go there badly. I hope to, someday, go there to pick up a car. I 
certainly will visit there someday.
Maybe next year when my wife and daughter go to Austrailia I'll get to 
Stuttgart.

Re: [MBZ] Data Card Option Code

[Werner Fehlauer]

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.
