Title: Chassis number decoding
Post by: Marwan69 on 02 November 2021, 04:53 PM
Hello guys,
I have a 1975 450sel 6.9 chassis number 116036-12-000063 but the details plate under the hood is missing and I believe that the exterior color has been changed. Is there a way to find out the original exterior/interior color of the car??

Welcome to the board 8)

If the VIN is accurate then that is a very early car for sure.  You used to be able to get the data card from Mercedes Classic Centre, not sure if they still do this.  You need proof of ownership otherwise they will not release the data card to you, at least that was how it was, not sure anymore.

Might only work for US delivered cars?
