Hi John,
For US enthusiasts:
http://www.mbusa.com/media/downloads...pplication.pdf
I'm not at all sure if MBUSA will honor requests from non US addresses. If my recent experiences with trying to get service CDs sent offshore hold true, then US requests only. I do not know if the Classic Center in California is up & running yet....
Cheers, MBL
The Classic Center is up and running in Irvine, Ca.
When you go in, ask to see the collection in the garage.
Talk to Mike if you need anything. I go there at least once a month.
Once when I went there, the receptionist was the only person working downstairs. She was new, I took advantage. I got to sit in Räikkönen's MP4 19. It was a bit awkward as I am 6'6 and it was built for him at 5'8"/5'9".
Amazing place though. If you're even remotely in the area (anywhere in southern california) and you're a true enthusiast, go for it. They have a 1987 560SEL with 9,xxx miles on it for sale for like $35k. Other cars as well. There was a 1956 300SL, numbers matching, in prime condition with the original luggage for a steep $335k. Oh ohh ohh there was also an "orginal" Gazelle lifter on the rack in the garage (as not to be touched or breathed on) that had a sign on it that read "Absolutely not for sale". They also had the Excelero there for 3 days early this year. Massively long car. A have to go to location.
