The "Showing My Baby Some Love" topic brought up the subject of paint codes, and after going to look up mine I decided to see what the other numbers on my ID plate meant!

Paint codes: Mercedes-Benz Paint Codes

Option codes: Mercedes Code Descriptions

Also helpful: Body Tag

There's one other site I used but I can't find it at the moment.


What I found for my plate:

3064073 – 3: built in 1983 at the Bremen plant, the rest is a production number
123123 12 – 123: chassis number, 1: diesel, 23: 240D, 1: LHD, 2: automatic transmission
103058 – Engine variant number (103: main engine number, 058: engine variant)
623 H – Light Ivory, H is the paint manufacturer
410 – Electric sliding roof
420 – 4-speed automatic transmission with tempomat

Thanks!

Explains a few codes that had "no code designation available".


639: from 01.08.1977: ELIMINATION OF FIRST-AID BOX AND WARNING TRIANGLE

757: from 01.06.1990 to 31.03.1994: BECKER RADIO GRAND PRIX 2000 - USA

872: from 01.10.1972: " ELECTRIC SEAT HEATER FOR REAR SEAT BENCH, LEFT AND RIGHT"

300: from 01.05.1988: STORAGE BOX IN FRONT TRAY



The only odd ones are 801 which my build sheets says is "AEJ 06/1/M/X". Which I have no clue about and this link did not have an 801, just an 801L which is "801L " YEMEN, PEOPLES REPUBLIC (SOUTH YEMEN)"". Also 040 which is "C 220 CANADA SPECIAL EDITION". What the heck is that? Then code 64, which there is a 064A "CLOTH LIGHT BROWN". I have a leather interior, unless cloth means the door trim and rear shelf.
