Hi All, Just bought this SL with the VIN as in the pic herewith.

As its a17 digit no., I think the 10th digit denotes the year,

Since the 10th digit is 1, can it be a 2001 (Not possible for a 107).

What I am missing / slipping or misunderstanding ?

Thanx in advance for your diligent comment.

The info. is from the EPC. Mercedes Electric Parts Catalog. It is some times wrong on code interpretations. Here are the ones that seem correct:
240 Outside ambient temperate sensor. This indicates a 1984 or newer model year with temp gauge in the dash.

274A Royal blue leather interior.
355 Diamond blue paint, both top and body
440 Tempomat cruise control
532 Automatic antenna
551 Anti theft system
565 Rear seat
570 Folding arm rest
581 Automatic climate control
590 Al-round WD green glass with heated rear window
744 Dark blue soft top
873 Heated front seats left and right

That is not your engine number. That is a part number.

Yours is 117964 12 000822
Transmission 722313 02 699391

1117964 was in 107 500SL models beginning 9/85.
