I'm posting this to help anyone interested to know when their vehicle was produced. It's a PDF I made from the Russian website carinfo.kiev so I cannot vouch for accuracy.

The way it works is fairly simple, match the last 7 digits of your VIN (AXXXXXX) with one of the ranges in the chart and that will give you the month and year of production.

For example: VIN A171490 would fall between A170481 and A177532 in the chart, indicating June 1985 production.

A575977... September 1990.

I'll have to compare that with the date printed on the VIN plate in the driver's door frame.

Just checked my car's VIN number, it was built October 1990. I remember checking the MB VIN decoder before and it states that my car was delivered on November 7 1990.
