Where in Germany was my MB built?
I've been searching the forums to no avail... I suspect this is a no-brainer for someone out there. I'm interested in knowing exactly where (a city in Germany, I assume) my 1988 300 SEL was built... and if parts were from various places, then where would it have finally rolled off the assembly line? I'm an admitted newbie and ask forgiveness in advance if this is a dumb-ass question... I'm just not having any luck finding the answer yet.
Thanks, Bob |

Check the 11th digit of your VIN number: A through E is Sindelfingen F though H Bremen J is Rastatt X is Graz T is Karmann (oh, and A is Vance, Alabama (I don't think it's that one) It's probably Sindelfingen or Bremen. Gilly |

Looks like Sindelfingen, Germany is the winner! Thanks so much!

Eberhard:
I have a sheet from MB which is where the info is from, saying J is Rastatt...you really think it's E? What do you think J is then? Gilly |

To be honest, I'm not quite shure. The Rastatt plant was build for the W 124 Sedan as additional plant to the one in Sindelfingen. Sindelfingen was in the 80ties pretty busy with the W 126 especially for the US market.
As far as I know, the digit was "E". The Rastatt plant now exclusivly (besides the plant in Brasil) builds the A-Klasse. Might be, that they changed it at that time?? I will check thourougly again ![]() Kind regards Eberhard |

The W 126 never was build in Bremen. Bremen only had the station waggons, some of the W 201 (as far as I know) and the SLK.
Kind regards Eberhard |
