Have tried to see if the chassis number of the saloon I saw the other week is visible in my photos but it isnt, all I know is that it is a 1971 car.
Found the paint code it is 332 G
Can you tell from this chassis number if the later radiator with oil cooler will fit?

You car is a W111 . 021 means it is a coupe . 22 means right hand drive with auto trans. and it is coupe number 083312.
Now,we have a conundrum .It can't be a 1972 car because W111-021's are 220SE or 250 SE.
No 220SE's were built after 1965 and no 250's were built after 1967 .And there were only 4108 250 coupes built but 14178 220SE's.
There were never 80,000 made so your number isn't correct. Look on the right hand (drivers side) chassis rail near the alternator and you will see the chassis number stamped into the frame. I am guessing but I think it should be 003312 making it a 1966 0r 1967 250 coupe.
paint code is 332 which is easy because it is a very nice colour,Dark Blue ( dunkleblau ) .
.
Ai am doing some work on a 250 coupe this morning so i'll get a pic for you. The 250's here had oil coolers so one should fit .
