Another 026 car for Steve's Registry

Hey Foto....many thanks !!!

I'll update the registry shortly. I'm on a ski holiday so I can't get to the registry database presently.

Steve Guilford keeps the registry of the 107026 (450SLC 5.0 and 500SLC) cars. here: Mercedes 5.0/500 SLC Rally Car Registry

I believe Scott Saenger started this registry when he was still with us.

Steve, it looks like Scott knew about 1630... ( checking in with #1630 - Mercedes-Benz Club of America Forums ) but it's not on the Registry. To save me looking silly, are you putting all the cars you know about on there, or are you verifying certain details first??

Thanks for doing all of this digging. I knew about 1071 - I must have spaced out when it came to adding it to the registry. Maybe I should not have wasted so many brain cells seeing the Grateful Dead !!!

I'm not really requiring any 'verification' before I add a car to the registry other than ascertaining whether the car is in fact an 026 model. The condition of the car is based upon the owner's statements unless I have actually seen the car.

I started and have always maintained the VIN number registry. Scott compiled a database of model options, paint colors, parts etc. etc. Supposedly I have all of that data amongst the stuff I got from the Saenger estate but I have yet to go through everything.

Just got back in town. I'll update the registry tomorrow morning.

Thanks again. We'll have to get you a car some time soon.

Thanks for all of your help Foto. I've updated the registry and we have 139 cars known worldwide so far..!!!
