Interesting find on my restoration project
 
I made an interesting find on my restoration project: under the rubber fitting into which the bottom of the jack fits within the trunk mount I found a neatly folded and perfectly preserved build sheet. That makes three I've found on the vehicle so far in addition to the one in the service record book. The other two were not in such good shape, but this one is perfect.

I am interested to know if any else has one there.

I've yet to find one, but now I'm going to look a little deeper.

Funnily enough, I took the back seat out of our 300D yesterday. First time I can ever recall doing that in the 18 years we have owned it! I found a few pencils, no money and a build sheet! It has duplicates that are perforated and looks like some were torn off.

Here is scan:

Looks like you have build sheets for two different orders! One is for 107.045 and the other is for a 123.133.

That's really cool! It must add to the value of the car.

I found this old sticker under the drivers seat of my 79 280CE.

I doubt that SL would be in there. Your trunk is not that big.

I didn't even notice that! Top one is my car!. I have a 107, but that is not it!

I found one of those in the trunk of my 300SEL, it was in the car's paperwork when I sold it.
